What do students normally pay for car insurance?

I just turned 18 and I want to get my own car insurance. I've been on my parents' policy so I'm not sure how much I should expect to spend. What's the average price that students spend on insurance?

“The average annual cost of
car insurance
for a college student is $1,257 or $105 per month. However, this rate will vary depending on age, driving record, location, and a number of other factors.
To cut your insurance rates, explore car insurance discounts for college students, such as:
  • Good student discount
  • Lower rates upon completion of driving classes
  • Good driver discount
  • Discounts for being a part of certain student associations, educational organizations, fraternities, or sororities
Furthermore, you should gather as many
car insurance quotes
as possible to find the best rate for your needs and finances.”
