For the first 6 months; Full coverage : $529 Limited coverage : $394 However if you already have a Social Security Number, go to a PennDot Drivers Licence Center and receive a temporary learners permit after entering a computerized exam. This will take 30 minutes. For insurance companies this permit has the same value with that of a PA drivers licence. Good luck!

His name is Tim Nixon, and he works for Keppel and Son. The number there is 264-8072. Tell him I referred you. -John Date: Wed, 5 Nov 1997 23:08:46 -0500 (EST) From: Vidhya Ramachandran To: Raluca Budiu Subject: Re: Help: Car insurance In-Reply-To: References: Progressive is one company that does that. Your best bet would be to go to AAA and get them to get their best available deal. They are very good at that. You will probably have to take on a membership (that's about $35 or so) to avail of their insurance sales, but the membership is worth every cent you pay. Good luck! Vidhya.

Motor" To: Raluca Budiu Subject: Re: Help: Car insurance Raluca, You might first want to try contacting the AAA (Automobile Association of America). They are in the phone book, either under AAA or the full name. I don't know if they would insure you (they do offer insurance), but they should be able to answer your questions, let you know what needs to be done, etc. THe main office is in East Liberty, not too far from here. Or you can try contacting Harrisburg (long distance) - probably look under the DMV - they have a Web page (http://idt.net/~tagman71/) - don't know if they have insurance info, or just car registration. Good Luck, Rita From: National Society Of Black Engineers To: Raluca Budiu Subject: Re: Help: car insurance In-Reply-To: References: Try giving B&W Insurance a call. Ask for Dawn Struhar. They are an insurance broker, but they'll give you quotes over the phone, and usually they are pretty comparable. the number is (412)369-8750. Please DO NOT respond to this account. Thank you.
