No written test - just a vision test.

I shopped around but stayed with my original company for both (Liberty Mutual). I had to use an agent in Florida and they were able to change my home and auto policies effective with my move date. When I got here I had the Florida coverage and was able to register my vehicles right away. If you went to the web site mentioned above you can see the fees. There is a $100 import fee per vehicle when comingfrom another state.

For your homeowners, do not mention a pet unless they ask. Some insurance companies will not insure you if you have a dog on the forbidden list. And there are quite a few. I had to sign a waiver for my dog because I mentioned him. When my home insurance jumped $400 to get Citizens Insurance out of their bind for insuring coastal homes, I went to switch and was told by two companies - sorry no can do since you have a shepard/chow.
