<prompt> Human: I live in a city with great public transit, but Im considering getting my drivers license and buying a car.How much is a reasonable amount to pay per month for auto insurance? Every quote Ive looked at so far had been in the 600-800 dollar range per month.What are some good ways to reduce the amount you pay for auto insurance? Obviously in the long term things like a safe driving record can help, but what about in the short term? Would it be better to get my license now and wait a while before buying a car and getting insurance?  <response>: Auto insurance really depends a lot on where you live and what car you drive along with your driving history. There is not going to be one average.
