Hello there! I am licensed in New York and I am planning to attend school in Miami, Florida. I am just wondering if I should insure my vehicle in Florida or in New York?

If you will be staying in Florida temporarily, you may be able to keep your vehicle insured in the state of New York.

According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles if you have a vehicle in the state of Florida for more than ninety days you need to buy personal injury protection and property damage liability coverage. So if you are a college student who will be attending school in Miami Florida, you will need to have these coverages. So I guess it would be cheaper if you just register and insure your car in the state of Florida since the state.

Hello there, Katherine.

It’s good that you asked about teenager auto insurance. Though it is true that teenage insurance can be very expensive, there can be ways by which you can reduce costs on premiums. Among the many reasons why a teenager will have a high insurance premium is because of the liability aspect that all states require. Aside from this, the type of car you drive or allow your teenager to drive will ultimately affect the cost of you insurance too. Your teenager will most likely to aggressively drive if he is on a brand new Mustang as compared to his attitude on the road if he is driving a refurbished wagon.

Therefore, not all circumstances that can cause an expensive auto insurance premium for a teenager would be inevitable. Some things can be curbed and there is always something that can be done. Most insurance companies will offer you a discount if the teenage driver completes an approved and recommended safety driving course. There are even companies that offer good student discounts. You can ask your agent about any young driver discounts that you might qualify for in South Dakota.

The most important thing that you should do before you buy auto insurance is to shop around when it comes to finding auto insurance for your teenager.

• Be walkin’. If you’re going off to college, you can cut your portion of the insurance bill down to practically nothing by leaving your car at home with the ‘rents and just finding other transportation while you’re away. Of course, this only works if your school is 100+ miles away from home sweet home.
