US Car insurance - advice
Discussion
HI all - hope you may be able to help -
We are in the process of moving from London to Charlotte at the moment (be on the ground 2nd week in august).
Just been looking at car insurance - and blimey! - much more expensive than I imagined.
We will be two cars, something new and leased - and something fun an 100% owned for me.
Anyone know of any good insurers out there?

Thanks for the pointers all - Geico seemed to be the stand out to me on my search so far, although I will now look at Met life too.
Just for a bit of clarity, my wife is American and has had a US licence for a long time (I am too scared to out her age - even on a motoring website!) but its a California licence - would that make a difference?
On the subject of credit - I have been told by Amex (and only Amex) that they are willing to port over some of my credit history - so I hope that will play well.
One other point I just thought of - within the current pandemic climate, it may be a while before I can get my US license (guessing DMVs are shut and that I need to go there in person??) - could this hobble us?

small update from me -
we bought (leased) a brand new Nissan Rouge - which as an aside is really quite nice - and haven't got my play car as yet.
Insurance with Progressive - wife as primary driver, with me as secondary on a UK license was $640 for 6 months.
Weirdly in NC I couldn't get my driving license without proof of insurance first! seems v backwards - but hey ho.
Now on the hunt for my play car - dread to think how much insurance will spike!!
