Car in Astoria

Hey y’all. Looking into getting a car soon and wanted to get some advice: 1. I haven’t had a car so this will be my first time getting insurance. What company do you use and about how much do you spend monthly? Trying to establish a baseline on how much I’ll need to budget for insurance 2. Have you found street parking to be manageable? Would love to avoid paying $200-300/month on a parking spot
