Reader’s Question:

I am a 21 year old French student. I am going to school and work in Baltimore, Maryland for a year or 2 and want to purchase a vehicle for that period. I have a French and International drivers license and I would like to know on how to go about obtaining car insurance in Baltimore. Thank you for your help.

If you plan to live in Baltimore Maryland for awhile, and go to school, you need to check with the MD Motor Vehicle Administration on what to do to get a Maryland driver’s license.

If you are able to exchange your international drivers license for a US drivers license from Maryland it will be much easier to obtain car insurance so that you can purchase, register and title a vehicle to drive during the time period that you are here in the USA. With just an international driving permit (IDP) an insurance carrier might insure you however they typically will want you to obtain a state license within thirty days or so.

Your age might have some problems with some insurance carriers or might make your car insurance higher since you are under the age of twenty five. You can start getting car insurance quotes now in Baltimore Maryland so you can have an idea how much insurance you could expect to pay in Baltimore Maryland.
