Yes, there is a grace period for car insurance when buying a new car, if you already have an insurance policy for another car. Most major insurance companies offer a grace period that lasts between seven and 30 days. This grace period will extend the coverage from your existing policy to your new car if you get into an accident before the policy is updated to include the new vehicle.
The length of the grace period for car insurance on a new car varies by company. Some companies, such as State Farm, Geico and Progressive, offer a 30-day grace period for existing customers. Others, however, do not offer one at all.
If you do not already have an insurance policy for another car, you will have to obtain a policy before you’ll be allowed to drive your new car off the dealership lot. In most cases, you can apply for and get insurance in under an hour.
