Can a 15 year old with learners permit get car insurance?

It depends on the state. In most states, the minimum age for a learner's permit is 15 or 16 years old. However, some states have a higher minimum age, such as California, where it is 16 years old. In almost all cases, those under the age of 18 require adult supervision while driving. For example, Pennsylvania drivers under 18 are required to be supervised by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult who has a valid driver's license and over the age of 18.

As for insurance, some insurance companies may offer policies to 15-year-olds with a learner's permit, while others may not. It is important to check with different insurance companies to see if they offer policies for young drivers and what their requirements are.

Some insurance companies may require the 15-year-old to complete a driver's education course before they can be added to a policy. They may also require the parent or guardian to be the primary driver on the policy and have a certain amount of driving experience.

It is important to note that insurance companies typically charge higher rates for young drivers, as they are considered to be a higher risk. It may be important to shop around and compare quotes from multiple insurance companies before choosing one.
