How much would my car insurance cost if I’m 19 years old?

I’m a 19-year-old and going into my sophomore year of college. My parents told me I can bring a car to campus with me this year, but I have to get my own insurance for it. I only work a couple of hours a week at school and was wondering how much insurance would be if I choose to bring the car back to school with me.

“Congratulations on starting your sophomore year and being able to bring a car back with you!
Predicting how much your car insurance will cost can be difficult, and your policy could differ significantly from the
average cost of car insurance
due to being a teenager without much driving experience.
The price of car insurance can vary greatly based on many factors, including:
  • Age
  • Gender
  • Location
  • Type of vehicle
  • Driving history
  • Credit
Staying on your parents’ insurance will likely be your cheapest option, so you may want to talk with them about remaining on their policy and paying your fair share.
However, if you have to purchase your own policy, you should consider using
