No question is too small.

What happens after I submit my application?

The application is queued and underwritten. If the application is approved, a policy is issued based on the applicant's preference (delivered either by email or mail). Issuance of the policy serves as your confirmation. If there are problems with your application or payment, TRMS will contact you.

How long does it usually take to obtain coverage?

If there are no underwriting questions or payment issues, you can obtain coverage very quickly. To be on the safe side, we suggest that you allow 7-10 business days.

How will I know when I am covered?

You will know you are covered when you receive the insurance policy. You may also either check online using the user credentials created for you at the time of application (if applying online), or call TRMS at (877) 637-9700 to check on the status of your application.

Can I elect when my coverage becomes effective?

You can designate the date your coverage becomes effective, as long as that date is on or after the date TRMS receives your application, but not more than 90 days from the date of application. For online applications, the effective date must be at least the day after the date the application is submitted.
