You’re smart to be thinking ahead to learn how to pay for your car insurance.
Car insurance
payments are usually paid to your provider monthly. Most customers use an electronic funds transfer (EFT), linking your bank account to your provider and establishing a monthly automated payment plan. This can be done through their app or on your insurer’s website.
Other ways you can submit auto insurance payments include:
  • Personal Check
  • Cashier’s Check
  • Debit card
  • Credit Card (Check website)
  • Money Order (Check website)
  • Pay in person
  • PayPal (Progressive)
Contact your insurer or an agent for the proper billing information.
Keep in mind, your rates will likely be high because of your age. Insurers tend to charge young drivers more for car insurance because they are considered high risk. That doesn’t mean you can’t save money, however! Use the
