Not all insurance companies will write a policy like this but some will. You might have to look a little but if you go to a couple of independent insurance agencies who represent many different companies then they will most likely be able to assist you.

Does insurance cover the vehicle if the driver does not have a valid license?

It all depends on the policy. If the unlicensed driver is a named insured and the policy is active then they will be covered.

If the unlicensed driver is not a named insured and also not excluded, Then technically they still are not a covered driver, although, coverege may still apply under the owners auto policy depending on the circumstances of any accident and the owners liability under permissive use rules if the vehicle owner allowed an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle.
