Can you get car insurance if you don't currently have insurance?
Yes. Some standard carriers may be hesitant to cover you if you don't currently have insurance, but high-risk carriers price specifically for this situation, so coverage stays available. Alinsco, for example, doesn't penalize you for a gap in coverage — and if you can show proof of prior insurance, you may actually qualify for a discount.
What to expect
-
Standard carriers may be more cautious about insuring a driver without current coverage
-
High-risk carriers are built to price for this — a gap alone doesn't disqualify you
-
Alinsco doesn't penalize you simply for not currently having coverage
-
If you do have prior insurance though, providing proof of such may qualify you for a discount
How to get covered
-
Get a quote — vehicle and license details; include proof of prior insurance if you have it, to see if you qualify for a discount
-
Buy the policy — coverage starts immediately
