Can Car Insurance Be Backdated? 
That is a great question ! If you can find a company that will , I 'd be very surprised . Insurance companies work off of risk . A life insurance company has no risk backdating a policy for you , as it is a certainty that you are still alive when you are asking them to do it . An auto insurer though , has little proof that your auto was n't damaged prior to the date that you are asking for coverage , and as such , are going to be very hesitant to backdate for you , for fear of an immediate claim . I hope that helps , thanks for asking !
