Any time you move, you have to give your insurance company your new address. Your rates could go up or down based off of this.
I moved from the north end of a city (one zip code) to the south end (different zip code) and my rates went up $60 over 6 months.

After you move to FL, get settled, and within 30 days advise your current agent of the move. Your insurance premium will go up or down depending on whether or not you are moving to a higher or lower rated area. You'll also need to get an FL license as well as register the car in FL. Make an appointent at the DMV to get your florida drivers license otherwise you will be there all day.
Now would be a good time to shop around for insurance. Many people just go to their local agent and get insurance there but if you shop around you could save yourself a ton of money.

Protect yourself. Call your present agent and let him/her know what's happening. If you have the address you're moving to and if you presently have coverage with a national company, you will be assigned a new agent. It could make your rates go up a little, but they could also go down some too. More importantly, if you have an accident and are living in one state, but have a policy written in a different state, you could have problems...not all insurance regulations/requirements are the same in every state.
Make sure you get a new driver's license too...most states allow for 30 days or so for this.

Nothing. If you are relocating, your previous insurance would be good out of town until you have settled in your new place and have a permanent address. Then you can transfer the insurance to a local provider.
Normally they want you to do this as soon as possible, within days, or a couple of weeks maximum is normal.

If you were told this by your insurance company, it looks like they don't cover Florida, so after you move you would have to cancel their policy and get one recognized by Florida. If your good buddy Joe told you that, just go "yeah, thanks" and ignore it. Give the insurance your new address when you get settled in, and they will tell you what, if anything, you need to do.

It is so you are covered locally. It shouldn't cost any more money to get started, you are just changing agents, unless you have a local insurance company, then you will have to go to a new insurance company. With State Farm, I had no problems changing agents.

If you're with a major national chain, just notify them of your change of address as soon as you move. They'll handle it from there.
If your current insurer doesn't write auto coverage in FL, you'll need to shop around for insurance once you get to FL.

Contact your insurers and let them know your new address.
