Can You Backdate Auto Insurance?
37376 POINTSview profileDavid G. Pipes, CLU®, RICP®Business Development Officer, T.D. McNeil Insurance Services, Fresno, CaliforniaUnderwriters have latitude. Some companies will allow back dating of auto policies. The issue is the potential for a loss arising from the period when there hadn’t been coverage. The advantage of backdating a policy might be to cover the period so that a lender cannot put coverage in force. Most companies would be very reluctant to back date an auto policy even with written assurances that there weren’t any potential claims.Answered on May 5, 2014flag this answer

There are very few reasons why an insurer will backdate, and the most common is to keep an age based rate lower for you. They are typically really reluctant to backdate, for fear of unclaimed damage suddenly being claimed. Thanks for asking!Answered on May 6, 2014flag this answer
