The age at which you can obtain car insurance will depend upon different factors, such as the minimum age at which your state allows someone to obtain a license or permit. Also state laws differ regarding the age at which a person may buy or register a car which they would need to obtain insurance on.

If you are a teenager, under 18, and want to get car insurance, you will normally need a license to do so and because of being a minor you will need a parent or guardian to sign on the paperwork with you.

Check with your state's Department of Motor Vehicles and Insurance Regulator to find out more about your specific state's licensing and insurance laws.
