varies depending on the method of purchase and the coverage you require. But in most cases, it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes of your time. If you’d like to pick up your car immediately, it’s even possible to get same day car insurance
.It’s important to shop around with multiple companies—even if you need insurance quickly. You’ll want to contact car insurance companies by phone or you can request quotes online.
