Hi. Im 17, joining the army soon and going to ship to basic training after i finish high school - at around July/2010. Right now, Im getting a car, liability insurance only. So ill need insurance for the car for 8 months before i ship. Im going to be away for 6 months for basic and advanced training. 6 months of paying insurance would cost be around 1300$. Seems a waste to pay if im not even driving it while im away. Would i be able to tell my insurance company to temporarily discontinue insurance when im away? Or if i cancel the policy, does the RI DMV request the plates? If not, i could keep it on the street while im away. If they do request the plates, what should i do? I mean i would have to pay taxes on it all over again, pay for insurance downpayment, then registration fees which is all over like 1000$. What could i do in my situation?
