It is illegal to operate a vehicle on the road without at least the minimum liability insurance. While some dealers will let you off of the lot without it, and some police officers may give you some room to wiggle, the laws in most states confirm this.
You will need to contact your insurance agent and have them add the vehicle prior to you driving it on the street to be perfectly legal. It is common to not do this until later, however, when you buy a NEW car from a dealership, they require proof of insurance first.

This assumes you have insurance already. If this is your first car or you have no auto insurance at all I believe you will need to have insurance in place before you drive off the lot.

Be sure and talk to your insurance agent but normally you do have a grace period to insure a car. I recently bought a car and asked State Farm this exact question and they said I had two weeks to submit the paperwork to them. This assumes you have insurance already. If this is your first car or you have no auto insurance at all I believe you will need to have insurance in place before you drive off the lot.
