Existing auto insurance policies usually cover the cars during transit. So, you might not need a separate transit insurance with temporary coverage. After you reach your destination, you can cancel the existing policy and buy a new one from Chicago

Besides, this is a forum to answer insurance related problems. If you want quotes, the search engines might be of better assistance.

I just purchased a vehilce in the states. I am canadian and wish to bring the car home. My canadian insurer will not cover me because the car is in America,

Can I purchase temporary insurance (max 5 day permit) to get it across the border, and then buy Canadian insurance?

You'd have to obtain that insurance from a Canadian insurance company -- if you are a Canadian resident. Why won't your insurance company cover the new vehicle? Makes no sense. Your Canadian insurance policy should normally cover you while driving in the US.

US/Canadian coverage in Mexico is a different problem. Mexican law makes it a crime to drive in Mexico without a Mexican-issued insurance policy. The US has no such laws.
