How can international students get car insurance?
How can international students get car insurance?
I am in the US on a student visa and I will need a car to get around. How can I get car insurance?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Many
car insurance
companies
accept a foreign driver’s license or an International Driving Permit
, which allows international students to get car insurance.
After a year of living in the United States, you should strongly consider getting a
driver’s license in your state
to lower your premiums.
However, every state has different requirements for obtaining a license and insurance. Contact your local DMV to find out more.
Once you have the proper documentation, check
car insurance quotes online
to find the best rate possible.”
