How do you get a car insurance license?
I think I’d like to work as an insurance agent. What’s the best way to get my license to sell car insurance?

“If you’d like to get licensed to sell
car insurance
, you’ll need to take a licensing course and exam.The requirements vary by state, but you’ll likely need at least 20 to 40 hours of pre-licensing education before you qualify to take the exam. You can check your state’s licensing requirements by visiting the Department of Insurance or Department of Financial Services online.
A great way to get your car insurance license is to get an entry-level job with a car insurance company. Many offer training for their employees and will pay for you to get licensed—so start searching for openings at various insurance companies.
Once you’re licensed, you typically have the opportunity to move into a different position, like sales or service.
Since you’re interested in the industry, you likely understand the importance of having great coverage on your vehicle. Ensure you have the policy you need—and aren’t overpaying for it—by shopping around.
