Are there specific insurance providers known for offering cheaper rates to young new drivers?

I'm 19 and I need insurance for my car. I know insurance can cost a lot of money for new drivers like me. Are there any carriers that are cheaper?

Answer

It really depends on the area the policy is written for, but Progressive is usually a good option. After five years of having your driver’s license, you will typically see your rates drop because you will get a discount for having driving experience.
