Does car insurance rates increase if you dont insure it within 30 days of buying a vehicle?

A friend of mine just bought a used pick up truck. Unfortunately, do some circumstances, he hasnt been able to get it insured/registered. However, he said that someone at an insurance agency told him that if he doesnt insure his vehicle within 30 days of purchasing it, his rates will go higher. Is this true? I know if you have a lapse of over 30 days in you insurance, your rates would typically go up, but if he just purchased a vehicle, is the same true?

Yes the rates will go higher because after 30 days there will consider the vehicle as being driven uninsured even if it hasn't.

No, there's no time limit, for when you have to insure a vehicle, after you buy it.

HOWEVER. Any time YOU go without car insurance for more than 30 days, YOUR rates will go up, regardless of when you bought the car.

If he's NEVER had insurance in his name, then it's not going to matter at all. It only matters if he has a LAPSE. The person he talked to at the agency, is confused.

If he has insurance on another vehicle, and wants to add the truck to that policy, many insurance companies have a rule that it must be within 30 days of purchase. Apparently his does.
