How do I fill out a car insurance application?

I just started living on my own in Boston, but I've never had my own personal car insurance. I think I know who I want coverage through, but how do I fill out an application for car insurance?

Depending on the insurance provider, you may be able to fill out a
car insurance
application online, in person, or over the phone. It’s important to pre-read your insurance application and identify the exact information they are looking for, so you can get your application approved and get insured quickly.
Some of the information you will need includes:
  • Your driver’s license
  • Your Social Security number
  • Vehicle identification number (VIN)
  • The declarations page from your last car insurance policy, if applicable
  • The types of coverage you want
You can also easily get started on a new car insurance policy with the
