My wife and I are moving to Atlanta, Georgia in Dec 06 from Scotland, UK. We have both been drivers in the UK and currently have UK licences but are applying for International Licences. We will both apply for US licence once in the states. What, if any, advise could you give about what info should we bring over with us to help getting a good insurance quote.

Most State auto insurance carriers are only able to use verifiable driving records when rating a potential policyholder. Unfortunately, most international records are unverifiable.

Bring your recent driving history if you have it, but also understand that most carriers will rate you as a new driver in the US with no US driving experience and use your date of first license in the United States in the rate. Shop around, because some carriers don’t use that as a major factor in their rating system.

We hope that you have a good trip over to Atlanta later in year when you move from Scotland. For information on how to obtain a Georgia driver's license, which will help you get a insurance since most companies will want you to have a US license instead of an international or foreign license, contact the GA Department of Motor Vehicle Safety.

When you are ready to begin shopping for auto insurance quotes for Atlanta, or any other city in Georgia, start here with us.
