When my daughter first got her license and had her first car, we called around to get a cheap car insurance rate for her. We knew that having the car was going to be a big expense for her and we did not want her to work any more than she already did, for fear that she would pay the price with her grades in school.

We had thought that there was no way a first time driver could get cheap auto insurance and we were pleasantly surprised at some of the great deals that we were able to find. It ended up costing her a whole lot less than we had estimated and she was happy with the freedom that her wheels afforded her.

My husband decided to switch to the same company for his classic car insurance, as it was a substantial savings compared to what he had been paying. We have learned that it definitely pays to shop around and it is nice to be living with two happy people.
