It will depend on the laws in your area, and if you are trading in a car with insurance that you are going to transfer. I would make sure that you have the insurance handled before you take delivery of the vehicle. It is better to be sure!!!

If you have a standard insurance company such as State Farm or Allstate you are actually covered for the first 30 days without even reporting the vehicle. However the dealership may require proof of insurance before leaving the lot. Purchasing a car is already a process so if your not with a standard company you need to add the vehicle prior to picking it up and make sure they fax the dealership a copy of your declaration page or temporary id

the insurance should have sorted out first, because a cover note only last for so long, and it is not a good idea to be travelling around in an uninsured car. how will you road tax the car if you have no insurance.
when i change my car i always inform the insurance company, before i drive the car away, then there is no way i can forget to insure the car.

You can get your insurance company to issue you with a cover note and you must do this before you pick up the car. It is your responsibility, if anything happens and you are not insured you would be in deep trouble.

You have to be insured to drive that car. If you are insured already on another vehicle you may be covered via a third party extension where you are insured to drive other vehicles third party only.
If you don't already have insurance you need to get something set up. Most big insurers can start policies instantly so when you pick it up you can start it then. Call a few insurers and see what they say.

Call your agent. You can't drive without insurance, and you may or may not be covered. If you have traded in a vehicle and had insurance on that one, perhaps you are covered until you can get to the office and make the changes. If it's not replacing another vehicle, then it gets iffy. Don't take the chance, do it now.

Arrange it now to come into effect the day you are picking the car up. I tried to arrange mine once after I had paid for a car but before I drove away and not only did it use up loads of my mobile phone credit it also took ages. Do not leave it until you get your new car home becuase if you crash or get pulled over by the Police on the way home you will not be covered.
I hope you enjoy your new car

If you are purchasing from a dealership you are always required by law (in Michigan) to have insurance before you take delivery.If you are financing you should be required to carry full coverage by the financial loan company.Just have your Insurance company fax a binder to the dealer. Hope this helps. Enjoy your new car dude!
