“While you can legally drive in the US, having a foreign driver’s license typically means you wouldn’t have a domestic driving record or credit history. As a result, car insurance companies will charge you a higher rate.
If you chose to get a
Vermont
license, you would begin to establish a driving record. While your rate will still be high since you’d still be considered a new driver in the eyes of the state and the insurer, the rates would begin to lower as you build your driving record.
Once you obtain a Vermont license, make sure to look into some discounts to lower the rate of your policy. Here are some that you might be eligible for:
  • Defensive driver discount
  • Telematics discount
  • Low mileage savings
  • Alumni association discounts
  • Professional organization discounts
