I recently go a DUI. My license is suspended and can POSSIBLY be reinstated in 30 days, but according to my attorney there is no guarantee. It could last for up to 6 months. My car is financed and requires insurance. If I do get the full 6 month suspension, is there any type of insurance to cover the vehicle until reinstatement of my license? Or what do you do in such a situation?

You can contact your insurance company to find out if there is any policy that will cover you for a 6 month license suspension. Many insurance companies will not do it for that long of a time period but will if your driving privileges are going to be reinstated in 30 days (the shorter suspension period).

If you are unable to acquire a policy by this manner you can contact your finance company. Since they require you to have insurance on the vehicle the finance company might be able to hold the insurance policy for the 6 months that your driver's license is suspended. They will likely add the cost to your monthly payment. Our Learning Center has more information that might be of help to you.
