Hi,
I am moving to Canada(Quebec) from USA(Boston) for a temporary period (8 to 10 months) and looking for car insurance in USA which covers my car in Canada also. I dont have intentions to change my US registratio,license etc. as its for a short term only.
My current car insurance is Geico and they said they can only cover for 1st 3 months. Are there any other insurance companies in USA which can cover my car in Canada as well for this short period?
no, generally most US insurance companies will only cover cars in canada for a short time (possibly up to 6 months) and if they find out the car is in canada long term, they will cancel the insurance. people in canada short term with a us registered car and us license will sometimes opt not to tell the insurance company about the car being in canada. I would recommend checking your insurance plan to make sure they will still cover issues in canada. When I was in canada as a visitor, I got into an accident and it was completely covered by my US insurance plan. I was also with Geico and they had "sister" insurers they used to help with the claim. I had no issues with my claim.

While I was researching a while back, I did find out that State Farm does have operations in Canada. I don't know if they can "seamlessly" transfer coverage from the US. It might be worth a shot, inquiring with them.
