Do you need auto insurance when you have a driving permit but no license?

title says it all

With some insurance companies you do, others you don't. Call your agent.

Somebody needs insurance on the car, but not always the learner. My insurance company didn't require my son to be covered during his stint with the temporary license, but another company, Progressive, did require him to be covered under their plan. The one I have now is Central Insurance

will say no as you have drive with a driver who is 25 or older and has a valid licences. That person will also have insurance for car under which u can drive, if you have aaa then you also have to get insurance. So call the insurance company of the driver that will be riding with you and find out about the policy that they have regarding permitt driver

You wreck your daddy's car?

Eh, maybe there is hope. I will have my learners permit very soon, and I will be driving one of my parents cars. I can't wait to drive, so I'm hoping that this won't be an issue when I get the permit. We have Allstate in NJ, and the oldest car is a 2001 suburban, so I'm thinking the rate will probably be pretty friggin high when it's time to face the music. Hopefully, that won't be this year!

hell no! I'm a car freak, so if one of our cars got banged up, it would be like my dad wrecking MY baby!

I had my permit for exactly 1 year. Never had insurance. This is in OR with Geico for my parents.
