    You can drive a car home you just bought that has no insurance. But you shouldn't. In fact, the dealership typically will verify that you are covered.

    However, if you are adding or replacing a vehicle on a policy in good standing, you may be covered anyway when you drive the new car home.

    Very rarely will a reputable car dealership even let you leave the lot with out proof of insurance that is full coverage. Even if you traded in your old car with a new car and the old one had full coverage on it you have limited coverage for the new car with some carriers it will only cover the amount of  what the value was for the old car you traded in.
    I would recommend always prior to even shopping for a car you  shop for the insurance rates on the new car and make sure you are properly protected.
