Is it expensive to get a driver's license/residency in California?

A drivers license is $28.00 in California. You may be confused with registration fees for you car which are more and are based on the value of the car, county of residence and other arbitrary things.

The license is cheap, but insurance is expensive. :) Good Luck!

My insurance is only $42/month, so it’s not always expensive.

wow, trustinglife, where are you at? That is awesome!

San Rafael, just north of SF. I have an old car (‘90) and work from home. Oh, and a great driving record. That’s a good recipe!

I wouldn’t know, I’m in Connecticut.

yes, the good driving record helps immensely, plus years of driving experience…that is such a great price! We pay 150 a month (my hubby and I) but we also don’t live by a major city, which also helps.

I’m assuming you guys are liability only, right?

Yes

oh no, complete insurance
