Civil responsibility for a Canadian car
Posted date : Jan 13, 2023.
Hi, we own a condominium in Florida that we use for five months a year. Can I have a car’s civil responsibility (more than two million) for a Canadian car that I will leave in Florida all year around. I will be using the car for less than six months a year and it will be in storage for the rest of the time.

Ed.: Under federal law, you cannot leave your Canadian registered vehicle in the United States for longer than 12 consecutive months. If so, then you are considered to have imported the car to the U.S. but did not declare it. That could get very messy and expensive. Your Canadian insurance coverage will not be valid either.
