Cheap Teen Auto Insurance — How Kids Can Help

You now have a teenager who is asking to start driving. While your response as a parent would be that of excitement, you also have other feelings. Apart from safety concerns (we all know that teen driver statistics are far from pleasant), there are also money issues. Add gas costs! As if that wasn’t tough enough, this teen driver could drive up your rate by as much as 200%. Thankfully, it’s NOT like the weather. You can do more than complain. You can take sure steps to pay less. Let’s take a look at them…

I will list several things and then dwell more on just one (the last point)…

1. It’s a very sensible move to have your teen contribute part of their premium. If they are responsible for paying part of the bills they’ll be more open to suggestions that will reduce your rate.

2. Let them be the secondary driver and preferably on an older car that will do just fine with the state’s minimum.

3. Don’t allow your teen to learn driving from fellow teens. If that has, unfortunately, already happened, let them go for a class in defensive driving. Auto insurance providers have a favorable bias to teens that do this.

4. Encourage your teen to take his/her studies seriously. Good grades will drive down their rate. Insurance companies have the belief that kids who maintain good grades are far less prone to recklessness behind wheels.

5. Make sure your teen drives a car that has all the recommended safety gadgets/features.

6. Reduce the time your teen spends behind wheels to the minimum. Let the use the mass transit as often as possible. Lower mileage means cheaper rates. Furthermore, you’ll also save on gas!

7. The average teen is very much at home on the internet. Let this be used productively on lowering your rate…

More often than NOT, your teen will more gladly shop for auto insurance quotes from a wide range of insurers. They have the time and skill to do this.

Let them know that you’re looking for the best rate that also gives you the right protection. They’d have to get and compare quotes from five or more quotes sites (Could be a pain for you to do but quite easy for the average teen).

They should make a list of about five of the best quotes returned. You can easily check this list to ensure you have the best in price and value. Some folks have saved over $1,000 by doing this right.
