Yes, your daughter will need to change his insurance coverage however she may not need to change her car insurance carrier. Your daughter should notify her current Idaho insurance company that she is planning to move in Greeley, Colorado and know how long they will continue coverage on her automobile. She need to know the CO State laws for changing over the registration, title and driver’s license when she is a new resident of Colorado because this should help her decide when she should change over her car insurance.
The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) states that if you are a CO resident who drives an automobile or motorcycle on public roads and highways in the state of CO, you must have the appropriate valid Driver’s License. A resident is defined as a citizen who has lived in Colorado for ninety continuous days; or upon becoming employed in Colorado, whichever comes first. So your daughter will need to get a new driver’s license within this time period in the state of Colorado.

In addition, cost of parts and repair tend to be lower for a used vehicle compare to a new vehicle and thus if the vehicle must be repaired after a wreck the expense should be less for the insurance company to fix the used vehicle.However it will still depend on the type of car as well as the age of it.
