I am currently in school and plan on being in NC for at least 2 more years(originally from NY). I was recently involved in an at-fault accident that totaled my car within the last year and plan on buying another car in the next 3 weeks back home in NY. My original plan was buying, registering, and insuring the new car in NY and driving it down to NC since I already have a NY license. However, I may consider the option of registering and insuring the car in NC since I will be spending over 90% of my time down there.
Please help me with a few questions:
Is switching to NC insurance going to be much cheaper and approximately how much cheaper?
Do I have to switch my NY license to a NC one to get insurance there?
Is there any way I can register the car in NY and insure it in NC?
If I decide to buy the car in NY and eventually switch my registration and insurance to NC, is there a better option than registering and insuring the car in NY then switching license, registration, and insurance over to NC after I come back from the 3 week break? How will that work in terms of state car taxes and registration fees?
Thank you for your help!
