Driving in the United States
Persons entering the United States by car should ensure their existing insurance coverage is valid in the states to be visited and for the duration of their visit. For long stays in a specific U.S. location, local American authorities can provide advice on whether a Canadian vehicle registration and/or driver's licence will continue to be accepted. As many states have mandatory automobile insurance requirements and require motorists to carry appropriate proof of insurance, it is important to be certain that the insurance held will be deemed adequate at your destination. The motor vehicle departments in the tri-state area - Connecticut, New Jersey and New York - can offer further advice. Also, members of the Canadian Automobile Association or the American Automobile Association may be able offer detailed information.
