How Do I Get Car Insurance Before I Buy A Car? 
It depends on whether you mean you 're about to buy a car in a matter of days ... . in that case you would simply need the vin # of the vehicle in order to bind an auto insurance policy . ... or if you mean you will be going without a car for some time but need auto insurance coverage anyways in the meantime . In that case you will either need a named operators policy or a broad form named drivers policy .
