Registering Your Vehicle and Obtaining Auto Insurance in Arizona

If you are moving into Arizona, it is very important to register your car in Arizona and get car insurance as soon as possible. If your car was insured in your previous state, the same levels of coverage may not be acceptable to the state of Arizona. Whether moving to Phoenix or another part of the state, be sure to check GEICO as early as possible to get the right auto insurance.

The Arizona Department of Insurance regulates the insurance industry in the state of Arizona. They monitor the financial condition of all insurance entities conducting business in Arizona, licenses insurance agents, and provide consumer assistance with insurance complaints.

Safety Glass Non-Deductible Option for AZ Auto Policies

If you have an Arizona car insurance policy with a comprehensive deductible, you may be eligible for a benefit called the safety glass non-deductible option. With this option, repairing or replacing safety glass on your covered vehicle does not require you to pay a deductible. This applies to the windshield, windows, and some other glass materials within the vehicle.

Arizona Graduated Licensing Program for Teen Drivers

Arizona provides a Graduated Licensing Program for young drivers. The first step is a Graduated Instruction Permit and then the teen must be 15 years and 6 months old. After a teen turns 16 and has had the permit for six months, they may apply for a Graduated Driver's License. This is designed to help new drivers get supervised experience while preparing for full driving privileges.
