How do I get insurance when I'm shopping for a car?
I'm in the beginning stages of buying a car. I've heard that I should have insurance when I drive out of the lot with it, so I want to get a policy set up, too. I've never done this by myself before, though, and I'm a little overwhelmed. How do I shop for insurance and a car at the same time?
