Depending on the dealer, they may be able to help you set up a temporary insurance policy for your vehicle. This is often called drive-away insurance because it provides coverage long enough for you to drive home and get a permanent car insurance policy in place. Depending on the insurance company the dealership works with, you may be able to get coverage on an hourly basis, for a day, or for up to four weeks. Before you do this, though, take a look at what the policy would cost you and compare it to what you'd pay if you were to buy a permanent policy from the get-go.
