How much should I expect to pay for car insurance?

I haven't had to get car insurance before. My friends have told me it's really expensive since we're only 19. How can I expect to pay?

“Your friends are correct since insurance is typically significantly higher for young or inexperienced drivers. However, you may still find
more affordable car insurance
.
Insurance companies use risk to rate policies. As a young driver, you are at higher risk and your insurance will typically cost more than other drivers.
Car insurance companies
expect drivers under 25 to submit more claims, which means they charge more for their insurance.
To expect what to pay for your insurance, request
car insurance quotes online
from multiple insurers. Every provider uses a different set of factors to determine their rates. When you provide your information to an insurance company, they use it to decide how much your insurance will be.
