Usually insurance policies will transfer coverage over to a newly purchased vehicle for 30 days but you would need to review your policy or ask your agent to confirm this.

My friend, its always wise to obtain an insurance on the car as early as possible. Therefore, don't wait for the time period to lapse and purchase the coverage at your earliest. If you fail to show the proof of insurance at any point of time you may invite far reaching consequences. A first time offender may need to carry SR-22 for a year if he/she fails to show the proof of insurance and the time period may get extended upto 3 years if you repeat it for the second time.
Yea, both of you are right. BUY AUTO INSURANCE AT YOUR EARLIEST.
In Idaho you may not have to show the proof of insurance at the time of registering the car but need to write a statement that you'll get it at the earliest possibility. Hope it make sense to you............
I think what was meant is: How long can I own the car before I can get penalized for having no insurance?
Seems kind of stupid to buy insurance for a car you don't own, or drive up to the insurance place with no insurance.
"Have you ever driven without insurance?"
"Umm... yes?"
"Have you ever driven with insurance?"
"Uh... no?"
