The same way you would for any other person who is a student or not. You contact an Insurance Agent or company who will give you a quote and offer a policy. You have to contact an Insurer. They don't come to you, you have to contact them and ask.
There are literally hundreds of Auto Insurers in the United States that will accept a foreign drivers license.
The United States offers International Reciprocity. Any Country that respects a U.S.A. issued drivers license of American citizens visiting that country will enjoy the same privilege for it's citizens when visiting the U.S.A. So as you can see, There is nothing illegal about driving in the USA with a foreign drivers license. Just make sure you buy your insurance, follow the law and the rules of the road.
It's not a problem at all. Just call around and find yourself a local agent who can meet your needs.
Happy Motoring

That is really difficult, Geico is decent at insuring new drivers.
Usually it is much cheaper to add a teen to the parents policy.
She may have to wait until she has her license and get coverage on her own.
But when the exchange student has to drive a car for getting the licence? Here you have to drive 50h with an adult before you can get the license? What can I do? Please help me, getting the licence is very important for him. Thanks.
Most exhange students are not legally allowed to drive any motor vehicles... this inludes cars, jet skis, four wheeler, motorcycles or anything of that such.
