“While it may be more difficult, you can still get
car insurance
without a license.
Since you only have your learner’s permit, you’ll need to look for car insurance companies that will insure someone with a learner’s permit. As you are still required to drive with a fully licensed driver, many car insurance companies won’t write a policy if the driver with a permit is the only one listed.
That said, there are a few companies that will consider it. The

app partners with several companies that do—like
Progressive
—and can help you shop around for a great rate. Just text a friendly agent through the app or call Jerry at (650) 753-7799 to find out more.
Alternatively, you should see if your parents or someone you live with will add you to their policy. Being listed on an established driver’s car insurance policy will allow you to insure your vehicle until you’re fully licensed—and will likely cost less, too!”
