How To Get Insurance When Buying A Used Car? 
Obtaining car insurance follows the same basic procedures regardless of whether you are buying a new car or a pre owned . Talk to your Insurance Professional and provide them with the year , make , model and Vehicle Identification Number -LRB- aka VIN -RRB- . Next discuss your coverage options and , if you are buying the insurance new as well , provide them with your full name , address , date of birth , Drivers License Number , and in most cases these days , your Social Security Number . They will then be able to complete the application for you to sign and collect the installment payment at which point you will be provided with a binder , receipt and temporary Insurance ID Card in order to register the car .
