The insurance should be in the name of the grandparents with the grandson listed as the primary driver of that vehicle. If all parties live in the same state this should be easy if they don't, well then that complicates things somewhat. For instance I own a vehicle that my Father-in-law keeps at his place and he is the primary driver. The vehicle is insured on my policy and he is listed on my policy as the primary driver. Doing this way keeps the state happy and the insurance company has full disclosure of all drivers. I would also have the grandparents write a letter giving the grandson full permission to use the vehicle. This should keep the police from thinking the kid stole the car especially if the last names are different.
If you are buying the car outright then it's up to you to decide when to get the insurance. If you are getting credit, you will have to have the insurance in place prior to taking possession of the vehicle.
* Insurance * Sales Tax * Registration * license plates * Dealer prep charges
This may vary from state to state. In Mass, you have to have insurance in order to register a car (the insurance company has to stamp the registration form)
I would purchase insurance before buying a specific car, but most polices want to know what car is insured so I would wait. Also, you will most likely need to have insurance to take possession of the vehicle.
It depends on your local law, but generally speaking you get a temporary registration from the dealer. You will probably have to show proof of insurance to get your permanent registration. If you already have insurance, usually your new car will be automatically be covered for some short period of time under your existing policy, provided you notify your insurance company first.
You cannot drive a vehicle without insurance for any time. This means you must purchase insurance before you put the vehicle on the road or you are immediately in violation of state law. You also cannot purchase a tag and registration in Georgia without having insurance. The state has a computerized system that keeps up with insurance and registration. Many police vehicles are now equipped with a system that works like radar except that it tells whether you have current insurance and whether or not your registration is current. I had a client parked at work whose insurance had cancelled two days earlier but she was ticketed at work for not having current insurance.
