Need insurance but only have a permit, help.
I 24 F live in California and recently got my drivers permit. My boyfriend has a car that I will be using and currently has Geico. He doesn't want me to drive unless I have insurance however when I called Geico they said I can't get my own without having a licence. My bf wants me to look into other companies to see if its an option to get my own or will I have to be added to his insurance. I think the reason he doesn't want to call Geico to see what pricing will look like is due to a past experience with his sister. When she was learning to drive their mom called and they later got a letter stating she is either added, excluded, or they won't be covered. And I dont think he wants to risk that. I am clueless where to look so please any advice is welcome.
Edit: When I drive my Bf is in the car just for clarification.
