How can I take a new car insurance policy?
I haven't had a car for a while now. I sold my last one about four years ago and haven't needed one since. But now that I live in a more suburban area, I need to get another one. I know how to buy a car, but how can I take a new car insurance policy?

The best way to take out a new
car insurance
policy while shopping for a new car is to use the VINs (vehicle identification numbers) from cars you’re considering to gather quotes. The type of car you purchase will significantly impact the overall cost of insurance.For help finding and comparing different quotes, download the
