Reduce the Cost of Teenage Drivers
Having a teenage driver in the family can be a scary thought. Just the thought of your "baby" behind the wheel may be enough to take your breath away. Even if it isn't, the first auto insurance premium for insuring that teenager likely will. Teenage drivers are some of the most expensive to insure, but there are ways to help reduce the costs.
Driver's Educations - taking courses through the public school, a private (certified) instructor or through the Department of Motor Vehicle can mean a substantial discount on your automobile insurance.
Good grades - many auto insurance companies recognize the responsibility that it takes to get good grades and will award the effort with a discount on the auto insurance premiums.
Reasonable car - the teenager might not be happy, but avoid those cars that will be classified as sports cars (any convertibles will likely fall under this label). Newer cars will also raise the cost of premiums as well.
Limit drive time – keep your teenage off the road during peak danger times (like after dark) until after they have large number of drive hours under their belts. Some states are even developing graduated licenses to offer just such protection.
Purchasing auto insurance for teenagers is going to be expensive. You can decrease the cost some by utilizing different discounts. Even if you maximize your discounts the cost of teenage drivers is still high. Teach the teenagers in your home some responsibility be requiring them to pay for the additional cost of adding them to your existing automobile insurance policy.
