Yes, it is possible to obtain a policy with a learner’s permit with certain carriers.

You will either typically need an drivers license or be able to get one within 30 to 45 days. Depending on your age, the insurance carrier will probably make you obtain a regular driver’s license within 30 days of your policy’s inception date. In addition to that, if you only have a learner’s permit, the insurance carrier may require you take out the insurance policy with a motorist on it who has a regular operator’s license.

If your parents already have an insurance policy, you should see if you can be listed to their insurance policy for coverage.
