Here's all the info you would need. Yes car insurance is mandatory. The least you can have is liability.

As far as the rates being high it depends. Florence is one of the highest in the nation, higher than most larger citys. It was less when I lived in Dallas and was on the interstate everyday. Other areas are less expensive though. I would call a few agents in SC and just see where you fall.

I agree with lainykai. It will vary quite a bit from city to city.

I went to Clemson and stayed in town working for about 3 years after I graduated. While I was a student, my official residence (thus my insurance rates) was in Abbeville with my parents which was fairly low despite my youth at the time. When I graduated and got my own place, I was a resident of Clemson and had a slightly higher rate. I moved to Greenville a little later, and got a higher rate yet.

Depending on your driving record and the city you intend to live in, your rates could vary as much as 50% or more. If you're considering a move to a certain place, call an agent/go online and get a quote for your specifics in that place. Thats the only way to know for sure.

I moved to Conway, SC from NJ so I don't know if it's fair to make a comparison but my insurance was cut in half.

Not exactly right on the helmet laws. If you are under 21, you must wear a helmet.
