I have an older car w/ full coverage. I just bought a new one, and the dealer told me my current policy would cover my new car for a while til I could add it on. I’m looking for a new company to cover my new car, but I need to know; for how long will my old policy cover my new car while I’m shopping for a new one?

You will have to read the fine and, that is no promise either if the company gets into your wreck.
You need to act fast!
standard policies state you must add the vehicle within 30 days from the date on the bill of sale for your new car. however, you should definitely check with your insurance company if you don’t have your policy handy. and make sure you’re talking to someone who’s trained, and not just the minimum wage call center people.
Depending on your insurance carrier (and you’d have to refer to your policy) most carriers will automatically cover you for at least “liability only” until you add the newly acquired vehicle IMMEDIATELY. You don’t say if you are adding or replacing a vehicle. The only way to know for sure the guidelines of your existing carrier is to check with your insurance agent to be sure of your policy’s coverages.
