Question : Is it possible to temporarily tag and insure a vehicle in IL?
Let me be more specific. I live in rural southern Illinois. I’m trying to move to Missouri. I need something to stay in while I’m looking at property in MO, like an older motorhome or trailer/truck combo. I have yet to find a dealer vehicle that is sufficient and in my price range. I have found a few private vehicles, but I am running into a consistent problem: no tags or insurance. I will not feel comfortable purchasing a truck/moho without test driving it, but at the same time I don’t want to be driving a vehicle I’m unfamiliar with illegally, even for a short period. Is there some way that a private individual can get temporary tags, and insurance for, say, a week? This conundrum is really screwing up my plans, so any help would be appreciated.

I’m not completely sure how it works in IL, but at least in Indiana where I’m from, once you get a vehicle insured and can show proof of that, if you need time to get plates, you can buy a 96 hour temp tag from the BMV. Go to your local BMV and see what they say. You should be able to do something similar.
