Auto and Car Insurance

Is it possible for a UK resident to get car insurance in the US?

I am planning to travel to the US for 2 months and was hoping to buy a car in California and drive it to New York. I have been trying to find out if will be possible to get insurance since I am not a resident of the US and it is looking increasingly difficult. I contacted Progressive Insurance company in the US and they said that I would have to have an address plus they would be unable to write a policy as the laws change between states and I would be travelling between states. Is there anything I can do to get around this?

1. yes it is you can get insured anywhere
2. maybe
3. i think you actually do have to be a resident BUT! there are always places that bend rules..
4. YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE YOUR INS. CO IN THE U K TO INSURE THE CAR . WHEN I RENTED A CAR FOR A MONTH IN ITALY MY INS. CO. HERE IN N.J. INSURED THE CAR RENTAL .
5. Yes everybody can get a car insurance in the use, but watch out, very good business is being done around it so take care: This is a good piece of work on the matter... http://www.saf.tcu.edu/ Car insurance1.pdf
