Can I get car insurance with only a learner's permit?

Yes, you can buy car insurance while holding only a learner's permit, and coverage is common for people working toward a full license. Insurers generally want a licensed driver on the policy, and some states require listing at least one licensed driver. Where the policyholder is unlicensed, the insurer may price the policy using that licensed driver's record, and some insurers are hesitant to cover unlicensed drivers at all.
