How do I get my own insurance?
I've been a listed driver on my sister's policy for the past year. I just bought my own car and need insurance. How do I get my own insurance?

To get your own
car insurance
, you’ll need your VIN (vehicle identification number) along with your personal information, like your driver’s license number and address.Since every car insurance company offers different rates, you’ll want to shop around and get quotes with at least three different providers. Gathering quotes will allow you to see what your cost may be.
As you are a listed driver on your sister’s insurance, you should also get a quote from her insurance company. As you’re already a customer, you may get a better rate with them than switching to a new policy.
If you don’t want to go through the hassle of requesting
car insurance quotes online
