What happens if i get in an accident before my insurance is switched from old leased vehicle to new? 
My colleage makes a very good point . In order to lease a car , the dealership will need to receive proof of insurance on the newly leased vehicle in order to complete the transaction . The proof will include both an insurance identification card as well as a binder showing the leaseholder 's interest . Each of those will include the year , make , model and vehicle ideneitfication number of the car so there is no question as to what the insurance is covering . Without such proof , the deal is not going to happen . I happen to represent Nationwide here in Connectivut and our policy includes a provision that any newly aquired vehicles are covered for up to 30 days even if our members do n't for whatever reason , notify us of the aquisition . A similar provision ion your poplicy would probably cover you , but you really neeed to talk to your Insurance Professional about the terms and conditions of your policy .
