Can You Buy Auto Insurance While Your License Is Suspended?

You can, legally speaking, buy auto insurance while your license is suspended in Little Falls, MN.

But there are a whole lot of reasons why you shouldn’t bother.

  • While your license is suspended, you’re not allowed to drive in the first place. If you plan on driving without a suspended license and you wind up in an accident, your insurance may help you to cover the damages, but it might not keep you out of jail. If your license is suspended, don’t drive, and don’t plan on driving, until you’re legally allowed to again.
  • Your insurance company may be willing to sell you insurance while your license is suspended, but if they know that your license is suspended, there’s a good chance they’ll deny you. They may choose to cancel your policy or not to renew it if you are already insured.
  • If you managed to get insured by lying to your insurance company, don’t expect them to honor any insurance claims you make afterward.

Having a suspended license doesn’t mean you can’t still shop around for auto insurance, but there’s simply not much good that can come of actually buying a policy while you’re not allowed to drive.

Suppose that a car belongs to you, but a family member with a valid license will be driving it. Well, the car-owner and primary driver listed on an insurance policy do not have to be the same person, and your insurer may be willing to work with you here. But you have to be upfront with them about the precise nature of the arrangement, or risk having your claims denied.
