What's the best way to get insurance for my car?
I'm buying a new Toyota and I need to get it insured. I don't have a current policy. How do I get insurance for my car?

“We love this question!
Here’s what you’ll need to get an accurate quote:
- Your name and birthdate
- Driver’s license number and state
- Current address
- Personal driving history
- Vehicle identification numbers (VIN)
- Your prior insurance policy (if any)
- What you’ll use the vehicle for
Each of these factors impacts the cost of your insurance, so it’s important to provide correct information. But they are weighted differently from company to company, which is why shopping around for insurance is the best way to avoid overpaying.
One last consideration when gathering quotes is the
type of insurance
you’re going to need. Your state has minimum requirements. And if you’re financing or leasing the vehicle, your lender or lessor will have requirements, as well. Speak with the appropriate parties to find out what you need.You can get quotes by calling insurance companies directly, or you can use a service like the
