Insurance quote for non-experienced driver

It seems to be getting much harder to get insurance for a new authority in California. I remember reading someone in another thread recently that said they were told by Progressive that they no longer issue policies for new authorities in California. That can't leave too many other options, so no wonder it's so expensive.

 

5 years ago when I started there was a hold on new Authority getting insurance from all companies. I waited almost 2 months before Progressive started writing policies again .

 

I done a quick quote on progressives website for a new authority and it was 18,000 roughly paid in full. I havent checked anywhere else yet.

 

43k that is insanity. On a bad year that might be your profit, or your first year. Ouch.
