I do not know any information for a grace period for insurance coverage in which to drive home a car after purchasing it from a private seller in Joliet Illinois. The information we found stated that before driving your new vehicle home from the dealer or the seller, you must have car insurance coverage.

To arrange coverage if you are purchasing a vehicle from a private seller should be as simple as calling your insurance provider and providing them with the required information on yourself and the vehicle. Most insurance providers can fax you a temporary insurance card that you must keep in your vehicle along with the registration card.

The only way that there may be a grace period is when you are transferring plates and coverage from one of your other cars to this one. If this is the situation you may be given time to switch the coverage off of one vehicle and onto the vehicle you are purchasing from private seller.
