Auto Insurance on a New Vehicle: What is the Grace Period to Secure Insurance After You Drive Off the Lot?

Featured Question - Auto Insurance on a New Vehicle: What is the Grace Period to Secure Insurance After You Drive Off the Lot?

I am a resident of California. I recently purchased a new motorcycle and had it stolen the very day I purchased it. I paid for it in full with a cashier's check. As it was the first day, I had not purchased an insurance policy on it yet. I currently have full auto coverage on my car. That insurance company does not offer motorcycle policies. They referred me to another company. I believe California law states the purchaser of the vehicle has 30 days to insure it from the date of purchase. Is this true? Would my new motorcycle be covered against theft by my current insurer in any way for those 30 days? Aaron G.
