What We Cover for First-Time Drivers in Port Jefferson 

Let’s cut through the noise—there’s a lot of information out there about car insurance. But you don’t need all the fluff when you're a new driver. You need protection that checks the boxes you care about: affordability, simplicity, and real support when it counts.

This is what we offer our first drivers here in Port Jefferson:


Liability Insurance

All states mandate liability insurance in New York to cover damages caused to other people's vehicles or property. Most new drivers get it at the first stop, and if they don't have a new car, it's a smart choice budget-wise. 


Collision Coverage 

Accidents happen. Whether it's a rear-end collision on 347 or a pole in a parking lot (what we have seen happen), damage to the vehicle gets covered through collision matter whose fault it is. 


Comprehensive Coverage 

This is the ultimate peace-of-mind add-on. It includes damage caused by theft, vandalism, storms, falling trees, etc. If your car is somewhat newer or financed, this is a must-have.


Underinsured/Uninsured Motorist Protection 

This is like a safety net. If someone's insurance is not enough, this will help cover damage done to your vehicle when someone else hits you. 


Supplemental Features

This also contains roadside assistance, rental reimbursement, and personal injury protection. Consider these additional tools in your toolbox; they might come in very handy when you least expect them.

Six Ways First-Time Drivers Can Save the Most

We get it; insurance isn't where you want to pay. The good news is you don't have to. Here are six smart money-saving ways to save costs without cutting the corners: 


Take a Defensive Driving Course

Complete a certified New York defensive driving class, and you can save as much as 10% off your premium for three years, an easy win that makes you safer as a driver. 


Get Good Grades

If you're a B average or better student, you might qualify for a good student discount. Yes, school can pay off on the road. 


Drive a Pragmatic Vehicle

High-powered sports cars mean high premiums. We suggest you go for a safe, modest vehicle; your wallet will be thankful for it. Bonus: It's generally cheaper to repair as well.

Become a Telematics Star

Many companies offer the facility to monitor your driving habits through an app. Driving fairly well and using gentle brakes can yield higher discounts. 


Owing Family Policy

Joining a parent's policy is often cheaper than being independent; we help you compare both options so that you can identify which makes the most sense. 


Bundle and Save

With a family member who has renters, homeowners, or even life insurance with the same carrier, it usually qualifies for significant savings upon bundling. Just ask- we'll run the numbers for you.
