Driving in Boston is uniquely challenging. The roads are narrow — some streets were paved before cars existed — and because there isn’t a centralized grid layout, it can be hard to find your way around the city’s criss-crossing one-way streets. On top of that, Massachusetts’s lax jaywalking laws (with fines starting at $1) mean pedestrians may not pause for passing vehicles. 

A solid car insurance policy can help protect you and your finances while driving through Beantown. To help you comparison shop, we’ve gathered quotes from real Jerry customers that show how a driver’s age, driving history and coverage preferences can affect their policy costs.
