Obtaining car insurance for a vehicle without a valid driver’s license in Chicago is not easy because most insurance carriers will require a drivers license since that is one major basis upon which they rate the insurance policy.

So to obtain car insurance on the automobile your parents will likely need to have a fully licensed driver listed on the car insurance policy.

There are some insurers that permit an individual to insure a car though they do not own or have “insurable interest” in a car so this should be an option for. Some states are aware of the cases senior drivers have when they give up their drivers license due to age and have helpful information on their Department of Motor Vehicle websites of how they can still get around.
