If you plan on staying in Baltimore Maryland for a year, as you go to school, I suggest that you with the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration regarding on how you can get drivers license in Maryland. You can check this website – http://www.marylandmva.com/DriverServ/Apply/license.htm – and see what you can do to get drivers license in Maryland.
If you are able to get drivers license in the state of Maryland it will be much easier to obtain car insurance so that you can purchase, title and register the vehicle that you will be using so you can legally drive in the US. If you only have an international license an insurance provider might insure you but require you to get US drivers license within thirty days or so depending on the insurance company guidelines.
Also, some insurers might make your car insurance higher since you are under the age of 25. Even if you have clean driving record in the Philippines, you will still be considered as a risk to insurance companies. You may start getting quotes here now so you will have an idea how much car insurance it will be.
