Car Insurance Question  I'm Icelandic and I live here in Iceland. I'm buying a car in Leesburg Pa, and I'd like to pick the car up myself at the seller's location and drive it over to JFK airport in NYC. The seller can provide me with registration, but I need a insurance. Can you sell me a temporary insurance? Its only 4 hours drive, can I buy 6-day insurance, or a month insurance?

Finding insurance for a time period of less than 6 months is difficult. Added to that is the fact that you are a foreign visitor thus do not have a driver's license from a State in the US which most insurance companies will require.

It appears that you plan to ship the car back to Iceland after the drive from Pennsylvania to NYC. If this is the case, speak with the shipper to see if they know of any short term auto cheap insurance companies that would sell you temporary insurance for the time period you need. It is likely they can help you if they deal with shipping cars internationally on a regular basis.
