Yes, you will need to get insurance before your tag as most tag offices require that you offer proof of your insurance in accordance with the state law, whatever yours is. In Georgia, the system is electronic and only during the first 30 days of ownership of a vehicle is proof provided by a paper card. After this it can be determined electronically. Many police cars are now armed with a gun-type device that can tell the officer immediately if a vehicle has registration and insurance that is in force.

Can you buy a car without insurance?

Sure, if you just want to buy it but not drive it. Oh yes and if you have enough cash to pay for it without financing any of the purchase price. This is because most states require you to have insurance to drive or get a tag and if you finance the purchase you will have to purchase insurance as part of your finance contract.

Do you need to have insurance on a car that is not driveable?

You need to check your state law. In Georgia, any vehicle with an active tage must be insured. To cure this, if you have a vehicle that is no longer operable you take the tag off and surrender it back to your tag office. However, if you have the tag for one day that you don't have insurance you will be fined. I always tell my clients to surrender the tag first then take the vehicle off the insurance. I'm assuming you are talking about a vehicle that is totalled or junked and not one that just is in a shop getting worked on. In these cases keep your insurance and tag active.

Do you need to continue coverage when car is not working?

This will depend on the state laws and regulations where the vehicle is registered. It also may have to do with whether or not the vehicle is financed. Financed vehicles will always have to have insurance according to the finance agreement. In Georgia, the only way that you can not have insurance is to surrender the tag and registration of the vehicle. If you have an active tag then you must have insurance on the vehicle. If you have the tag for even one day that you don't have insurance you will be fined and eventually the tag and registration will be cancelled then the driver's license will be revoked.

In the state of Alabama,you are supposed to have a drivers license and proof of insurance to register any vehicle.The problem is,when you go to the tag office(DMV)to buy a tag,they ask you if you have insurance and you tell them you do,so they take your word for it and sell you a tag to get you out of their hair.However,if you do not have insurance you will receive a letter from the state requiring proof of insurance.If you cannot provide proof,they will come take your tag.Hope this helps.
