How do I get insurance for a second hand car?
My mother is getting a new car and said she’d give me her old one. How do I get insurance for a used car?

“How exciting! Even though you’re insuring a second-hand car, the process is about the same as it would be with a new car. Here’s what you’ll need to start collecting quotes:
- Your name
- Your address
- Your birthdate
- Your driver’s license information
- The VIN (vehicle identification number)
Once you have this information, you can begin requesting
car insurance quotes
with various companies. Since your mother likely has car insurance already, consider getting a quote from them as well. If you have any car insurance questions or want to see if you can save some money, then look no further than the
Jerry
app. Jerry helps you find the best rates and car insurance, even with a second-hand car. After finding a quote that you like, you can purchase the policy. From there, your second-hand car has insurance and is ready to be on the road!”
