Suspending Military Auto Insurance Maryland MD

Reader’s Question:

I have a boyfriend who is serving the military. He would be stationed in another country for several months. He has a car here in Maryland that is registered and also insured. What’s the best thing to do with his car insurance policy? Is it advisable to keep paying on his auto insurance premium? Because I think it’s not practical to do that. The reason is no one is going to use his car. We’re thinking of saving on his auto insurance bills while he’s away. Do you think that’s possible?

From what I’ve read from the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA), your boyfriend who is serving the military may opt to suspend his auto insurance coverage if he is deployed in another place. This suspension may be applicable to suspending the full coverage or just partial coverage. This is usually done to save on auto insurance premium payments. However, you must be sure first that no one is going to use the vehicle. And also since your boyfriend is with the military service, he could suspend his car insurance policy and have it reactivated once he returned. He could do this without any penalties at all. This is provided that the reason he is going to suspend his policy is because he is assigned in another country and would be required to stay in that country for a long time.

For more information on how your boyfriend can suspend his car insurance policy, do check with his car insurance agent in Maryland as soon as possible.
