How much does car insurance cost for a 17-year-old in New York?
I want to purchase my own car insurance policy for my 2011 Corolla. How much will this cost?

“Purchasing your own
car insurance
policy is definitely a milestone when you’re 17. It’s a sign you’re ready for more responsibility! Although it can be difficult to estimate the cost of your insurance, it’s safe to assume your insurance rates will be more expensive than someone older.
Insurance rates vary depending on the company and a variety of other factors. Some things insurance companies look at are:
- Age
- Type of vehicle driven
- Address
- Type of coverage requested
- Driving record
- Claims history
While you likely won’t find cheap car insurance at 17, you can still find lower prices!
The easiest way to save money is to compare quotes. If you want help sifting through multiple companies, try using the
Jerry
app. Jerry gathers personalized quotes from the top providers and delivers the best deals to your phone in minutes for free.Beyond shopping around, be sure to see if you qualify for a good student discount. You may also want to consider taking a
driver training course
to reduce your rates. While car insurance costs a lot for young drivers, you will see your rates go down with time if you continue to practice safe driving habits.
Congrats again–and safe driving!”
