Yes, bring a valid driver's license-it's required to test drive any vehicle. Insurance isn't mandatory for the test drive itself, but having your insurance card handy shows you're an active, insured driver, which can be helpful during the buying process later. It's also good to bring any questions or notes about features you want to check. Call (847) 593-4700 ahead of time to confirm what to bring, and our team will make sure everything is in order when you arrive.
