It is a fun world to be in! Selling
car insurance
requires a property and casualty insurance license, among other requirements.
State-specific rules and entities manage insurance, so the requirements to be a car
insurance broker
or agent in your state may vary. Most will require:
  • Completing coursework before getting your license. Each state has its own requirements for the amount of coursework required.
  • Passing an exam.
  • Filling out the required applications.
  • Passing a background check and submitting fingerprints if required.
If you’d like help getting your insurance license and a head start on selling insurance, consider looking for jobs now. Many car insurance companies pay for licensing when you join as an entry-level agent. You can check job descriptions to see which companies offer this as a perk.
Since you want to become an insurance agent, ensure you have a great policy to match. Thankfully, apps like
