Who has the best car insurance for international students?

I will need car insurance for my new vehicle, but I am an international student. What company offers the best price for international students? I heard insurance was really expensive in my situation.

The cost of
car insurance
in the U.S. depends on the carrier and several other factors. Some factors insurance companies look at are:
  • Your age
  • Driving record
  • Credit history
  • Address
  • Type of vehicle you drive
Since you’re an international student, you don’t have a driving record established in the U.S. Your car insurance will be more expensive until you can obtain a state driver’s license as limited driving history or experience will impact rates.
That said, many car insurance companies write policies for international students, so shopping for
car insurance quotes online
is the best idea. One company you’ll want to check out is
Progressive
. They often offer policies for international students and foreign driver’s licenses.
