“Getting your own
car insurance
is a big step in your independence and a part of growing up. If you’d like to know how much you’ll pay for insurance, request
car insurance quotes
with different companies.
Since you are on your parents’ policy, you should check with their company first. You may receive a lower rate since you’re on a policy with them. When requesting a quote, the insurer can tell you how much your
down payment
, monthly payment, and policy premium might be.
When looking at other insurers, provide them with your information. Every insurer will need your:
  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Address
  • Driver’s license number
  • Vehicle identification number (VIN)
They may also ask for your Social Security number or additional information for the most accurate rate. Like with your parents’ insurance, your quote will include your downpayment, monthly payment, and total policy premium.
