I'm moving to Missouri next month and honestly, just looking at all the paperwork for registering my car and sorting out insurance is giving me a headache already. I've heard some stories about long waits at the DMV and confusing insurance requirements. Anyone been through this recently? Maybe you know a good insurance provider or have tips on making the registration process less painful... I'm all ears.
Dealing with Missouri's DMV can definitely test your patience—been there myself recently. For insurance, I'd suggest comparing quotes online first; some providers offer decent discounts if you bundle policies. Have you checked if your current insurer covers Missouri? Might simplify things a bit...
I've actually found bundling isn't always the best deal. Last year, when I moved states, my insurer quoted me a higher rate for bundled policies than separate ones. Surprised me too... Anyway, it's worth double-checking individual quotes alongside bundles just to be sure. And yeah, Missouri's DMV is notoriously slow—pack snacks and patience, you'll need both.
"pack snacks and patience, you'll need both."
Haha, can confirm. Last time I went to the Missouri DMV, I finished an entire granola bar before my number even moved. Also, same experience with bundling—saved more splitting policies. Weird how that works...
Granola bar at the DMV sounds about right, lol. Last time I moved states, I thought bundling insurance would save me money too, but turns out splitting policies was cheaper for me as well. Still puzzles me why insurers do that. Also, heads up—Missouri has some quirky rules about proof of residency docs. Had to run home mid-appointment once because my utility bill wasn't recent enough...lesson learned the hard way.
