Hey great eyes! Im from new york; however, to keep my NY plates, i needed to pay $6 per day for the first month, $10 per day the second month, and $12 per day the third month. The 4th month they would suspend my license if i didnt have insurance. I didnt see a point in spending $75 a month on USA insurance if it wouldnt work beyond the borders. Vermont plates and registration was a one time fee so i opted for that
