How can I get insurance and buy a car at the same time?
I am getting a new car this weekend and I don't want to pay for a policy until I know for sure what car I am getting. Can I get the insurance and car at the same time?

“Yes, you can wait to buy your insurance policy while you are at the dealership. Dealers are used to selling cars and helping people set up their
car insurance
. Just make sure the coverage is what you need, not what the dealer thinks would be best. Know which insurance company you would like to go with before getting to the dealership will also save you time.
