So I've recently gone through a divorce and in the tumult of all that, I (and ex) let our car insurance coverage lapse. It certainly wasn't intentional, we just failed to be vigilant about it and sort it out before the coverage ended.<br><br>
So now we've been without coverage for just over a month, which happens to be the magic number when the insurance companies say that you have to start all over and pay extra high premiums to pay for your transgression.<br><br>
I was just given a quote for 6 months and it's more than $2,000 for ONE vehicle!!!!!!<br><br>
I have absolutely no idea what to do. On the one hand, I have to have insurance--both safety-wise and legally! On the other hand, I CANNOT afford to pay $2,200-something right now for car insurance. I mean I simply don't have that money.<br><br>
So does anyone know what people in situations like mine DO? How on earth do I go about paying for this insurance that I *have* to have when I can in no way afford it?<br><br>
TIA in advance for any suggestions!<br><br>
PS-In case it wasn't clear, when I refer to ex and I as "we" I'm talking about our old policy. Of course now we are going to get coverage separately, so he is not part of this equation.
