Several Michigan parents are facing fines and car insurance issues tied to garaging rules, after running into problems insuring vehicles for children attending college out of state, according to ClickOnDetroit.

While these cases are surfacing in Michigan, the underlying rules apply nationwide. Car insurance companies base your policy on where a vehicle is primarily kept, and that can create complications in common situations like college moves, temporary relocations or splitting time between two states.
