Car Insurance

I visit and sometimes do jobs in illinois for my employer, based in new jersey. i just bought a home in los angeles, but will be traveling alot to illinois, although i work everywhere (multiple states). i would like to keep a car in illinois, not garaged anyplace, maybe sitting at the airport or roadside. how do i handle licensing, tags, insurance? if i live in los angeles, have a los angeles license, and los angeles plates, can i get insurance? what happens if a illinois police officer stops me?

You should consider an occasional use short-term lease from a car rental company in texas.under your scenario you would have to license and register and insure the car in texas. but since it would be sitting unguarded in texas..the loss exposure is , high and you would pay astronomical rates for comprehensive (which covers stuff like storm loss, burglary, etc.).you would be better off just to keep one car in texas and when you go to texas just get a short term lease. that way you can give it back when you are done and not have to worry about obligations.
