Do I need insurance to buy a used car?
If you're buying your used car from a dealer, most of the time they will require you to have insurance before you drive off the lot. However, if you're buying a car from another person, or replacing your car with a different one, there are different regulations on how long you have to get your car insured.
How do I insure a car I just bought?
To insure your car right after purchase, make sure to contact your insurance provider and switch your coverage. If you don’t already have insurance, you can typically purchase a coverage plan immediately, unless it’s the weekend. Can I drive a car back that I just bought without insurance? It’s illegal to drive any car without insurance.
Can you buy a car without proof of insurance?
You may not be allowed to purchase a vehicle even if you pay with cash. If the dealership helped you with the funding, they are even less likely to let you buy a car without proof of insurance. If you're planning to purchase your car on the weekend, you may need to get your insurance worked out first.
