Insuring Your Teen Driver

Insuring a new driver can be an exhilarating and expensive process. If you’re the parent of a teenager who is getting ready to climb behind the steering wheel, insuring them can be an expensive endeavor. This is because the risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among 16- to 19-year-olds than among any other age group. We’ve gathered some helpful tips to help you keep your premiums cost effective and your teen driver safe. 

Enroll Your Teen in Driver’s Education 

Although courses may be available at your child’s school, consider enrolling him/her in a driver’s education course. Often, discounts are available for teens who take recognized driving classes because it extends the teaching period. 

Weigh Your Buying Decision 

Before you make an auto purchase, we’d be happy to give you an insurance quote to help you with your buying decision. 

Policy Options 

Rather than setting up an independent policy for your teen driver, consider adding them as an additional driver on your auto insurance policy. This could help lower your premium. Also, if you have more than one vehicle, designate which vehicle your child will be driving. That could be another way to save. 

Deductible Considerations 

By upping your deductible and utilizing your insurance for big repairs, you may be able to reduce your premium.  

Set Your Expectations for Safety 

While you can’t do anything about your teen’s young driver status, there are many things you can do to help them reduce potential accidents: 

  • Set a curfew 

  • Talk to your teenager about the dangers of drinking and driving  

  • Insist on seat belt use for everyone in the vehicle 

  • Ride with your son or daughter occasionally to make sure they are keeping up with the safety habits that they learned in driver’s education 

  • Restrict your teen’s nighttime driving 

  • Limit the number of passengers in the vehicle 

  • Ban the use of electronics, such as talking or texting on a cellphone or listening to music, while behind the wheel 

  • Establish driving-area limits
