IF YOU DON T GE T MOVING ON AUTOPLAN NOW... YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MOVE AFTER FEBRUARY 28.

We're worried because you don'f have your Autoplan insurance yef.

If you leave it any longer, you just may not be able to get the insurance you'll need to drive on March 1st.

The fact is, unless more people arrange for their insurance right away, we simply won't be able to handle everyone later .

That's why we're worried.

And, unless you already have your Autoplan insurance, you should be worried, too.

So, see one of the authorized independent Autoplan insurance agents in your community now.

Then we can all stop worrying.
