You can often buy car insurance without a United States driver license. Insurance companies differ on what identification they accept, and many will write a policy on a foreign license, an international permit, or a Matrícula Consular. Bring whatever documents you have and we will tell you which insurance companies work.
FOREIGN LICENSE AT A-MAX
The rule is not the same at every company, which is the part that makes this hard to research on your own. One insurance company will write a policy on an international permit and the next will not look at it. There is no way to know except to ask several, which is what an independent agency does.
Every A-MAX office has bilingual staff, and this conversation is one of the reasons. Bring your documents in and somebody will go through them with you rather than reading a list of requirements down a phone line.

THE THINGS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK US
Not always. Several of the insurance companies we work with will write a policy on a foreign license, an international permit, or a Matrícula Consular. Bring what you have.
Whatever identification you hold, the vehicle VIN, and proof of any prior insurance. If something is missing we will tell you what it changes.
Yes. Every A-MAX office has at least one bilingual team member, and so does our phone line. Call 1-800-921-AMAX.
PEOPLE LOOKING AT FOREIGN LICENSE USUALLY LOOK AT AUTO, SR-22 AND ROADSIDE TOO
