Yes, anyone moving to another state should shop around. You'll discover the market may look significantly different in the new state. The deal you had previously may not be the best deal when you move. The insurance market varies state by state.

It's also worth shopping around every few years, and moving is a great time to look for better rates. When looking for a new insurance provider, evaluate both your state's regulations as well as your new insurance needs.
