Before anything else, you will need to get an idea of what car you want. Then, once you have settled on a few, get the VIN of the vehicles for your insurance quotes.
Once you’ve chosen a provider, you generally won’t be able to choose a start date of insurance until you find a car to purchase. When you do decide on a date of sale, though, you can set the start date for your insurance as the day of purchase. In most cases, you can print out an ID card on the same day and be ready to hit the road in your new car!
Congratulations again—and you’ve got this!
