Can you get auto insurance without a license?

Obtaining auto insurance without a license can be done in a few different ways. For one, you can list a different member of your household as the primary driver and list yourself as an excluded driver (this means you're not covered if you drive the car) on your policy. Alternatively, you can purchase comprehensive coverage for a vehicle you keep in storage. Consider purchasing joint ownership auto insurance if you don't have a license currently but plan to obtain one within the year.
