I'll be buying from a dealer. Do I need to get insurance before I start doing test drives?
the dealer's garage policy covers the car as long as a salesman is with you

In Virginia, and previously New York, I was always covered on my parents' State Farm policy. Now that I've permanently (hopefully) moved out and am living far away, I need to get my own policy. I assume, the dealer won't sell me a car if I don't have insurance. What's the usual way of getting insurance when getting a new car, when you don't already have coverage?

Fun fact: My current top pick in the area's used car market is a 2007 Kia Rondo.
call geico first and get a quote, then call from the showroom and finalize it
