Insurance premiums are based on many factors including the people that will be driving the car. It is not based on the name of the policy holder. In other words, the price would not be any different if your insurance policy was in some one else's name as you would still be listed as a driver on that policy. In addition, the named insured ( or policy holder) should be the same as the registered owner of that vehicle. Whomever's name the car will be registered in should purchase the insurance policy.

Some of our insurance companies will allow you to buy a policy with your international drivers license but may require that you obtain a valid U.S. license afterwards. You can find out which ones by getting a car insurance quote here.
