Car Insurance with a permit

[markchase]

I will be turning 21 in a few days and I have just received my learners permit in the state of GA. I took a few hours at a driving school but its really expensive and I don't feel like I have enough practice to take the road test.

My question is that I moved here a few months ago and I have no family located in the state and im unsure of how I can get more driving experience. I have a car available to buy when ever im ready but I was just wondering if its possible to insure a car with a learners permit? If I was to borrow a friends car would I be covered?

I grew up in Georgia and received my learner's permit there. Your friend should call their insurance company and make sure that you will be covered while driving with them in their car in the event of an accident. Most insurance companies will not issue insurance in your name unless you have a valid driver's license. More Information here Read more general car insurance

You will probably have a hard time purchasing the vehicle until you have secured a driver's license (because you normally have to provide proof of insurance in Georgia if you are purchasing the car outright, and provide full coverage insurance on the vehicle if you are financing it).
