Does having a US drivers' license reduce car insurance versus a Dutch drivers' license in the US?
I am currently studying in Buffalo, NY and have no need for a car.
However, I may want to go on a road trip and the end of my stay on the west coast.
Will it make insurance cheaper to get a driving licence here if I want to rent or buy a car for 4 weeks? I am in possession of a Dutch driving licence.
Also, do they make a distinction between in-state and out-of-state licences when renting a car?
