A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

How much does car insurance cost for a new driver?

Insurance costs for new drivers vary significantly by age, vehicle choice, location, and driving record, but new drivers typically pay $2,500-$4,500 per year in NJ, which has some of the highest insurance rates in the country. The vehicle you choose directly affects this cost: sports cars, luxury vehicles, and high-performance models cost significantly more to insure. A Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla will cost considerably less to insure than a BMW 3 Series or Dodge Challenger for the same driver profile. Always get insurance quotes before committing to a vehicle, not after.

I rarely write any reviews, I do find it necessary that I write one this time.I haven't purchased a new vehicle for quite some time. When I decided to move forward I dreaded the thought of having to go through the process of dealing with multiple dealerships, gathering quotes etc. and having to deal with pushy, non-transparent sales and finance people. Don't get me wrong, not all dealerships are that way or have staff looking to make big profit margins. If you've bought or leased any vehicle, you know those sales and finance guys are out there looking to make the absolute most profit possible. They get you going this way and that way. That's their business, to make money, I get that but the frustration, time and effort just isn't worth it to me.So, with that said, I was told by Brandon an employee of Vantage Auto Group to give them a try. Tommy C. was my contact and I have to say, from day one this was the best experience I had ever had with purchasing a new vehicle. No hassle, no frustration, no running back and forth to dealerships. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism, transparency in order to satisfy the customer (Me). Aside from a minor setback which was corrected immediately, Tommy came through with the new truck that I was looking for. Hassle free, I received delivery even with a little parting gift which was very much appreciated.I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend using Vantage Auto Group for your next lease or purchase of a new/used vehicle.Thanks again Tommy and All at Vantage Auto GroupA Happy customerAndy

Another five star experience!!! This is the 3rd car I’ve purchased through David and the crew at Vantage. No hassle, no bait and switch, no high pressure sales tactics or incessant follow up phone calls like with a traditional dealership. A few phone conversations with David, and he finds the car you want, with the trim package you want, at the best possible price. Delivery is convenient and the crew are always the constant professionals, taking the time to go over vehicle features and getting you setup to go…. Cant say enough.

David made a seamless transaction without the hassle of going to the dealer. Located the truck I wanted and delivered it on time. Signed the paperwork which took 5 minutes and the professionism was top notch. It's rare these days that you get someone who's responsive and didn't put you through an automated response. Answered all my questions promptly and made sure I received the truck I was looking for.....Was a pleasure!

Sean and Brandon were fantastic! I cannot stress how much easier the car buying process was with Sean’s guidance and network. Brandon was a consummate professional when it came to the delivery of our new car! It was clean and cared for after the long drive down. I cannot stress how much better it was working with them as opposed to going to a dealer. We will be buying all our future cars through Sean at Vantage!

Great experience with Vantage. Was able to avoid the hassle of going to multiple car dealerships and the service was great. They Dropped off my new car, picked up my trade in and handed me a check. Will definitely use them in the future.
