Sort of (it's Geico via a 3rd party) but I had the auto first and switching to Geico home didn't make my auto insurance any cheaper.

In NYC you would probably pay $294 per month. And that is before tickets.

AFAIK You have to be military or immediate family to benefit from their auto insurance rates. In case of an accident you might not be covered.

Auto Ins for New Driver
« Reply #416 on: September 15, 2013, 08:42:03 PM »
I switched insurance recently, as my daughter got her license.  This "cheap" carrier wants $3700 for a new driver.  Is that going rate in NY?

Its YMMV, but as an example I know someone paying a little over $2000 (Geico).
