Auto Insurance Guide for Teenagers

young teenage driver

With this guide, teenagers can learn how to find auto insurance at an affordable price with the protection needed. It is important for teens know what approach to take when looking for the right insuring company since being young can have an impact on their premium.

First of all, teenage kids must understand that because they are fairly new drivers, with 3 years or less of driving experience and are of a young age, they can expect to pay a bit more than another elder driver with more experience; therefore, they must take advantage of every discount out there such as the Good Driver Discount, which comes after 1 1/2 - 3 years driving experience (depending on the carrier) as long as they have not received more than one minor violation and no major ones.

Other discounts available to teens are student discounts. Generally, teenagers are eligible if they have a "B" average or better and proof may be required. If a teenager is attending school and does not commute a long distance, they may also be eligible for the low commute or low mileage rates since their risk factor is reduced as vehicles are driven a lower distance. Generally, commuting less than 9,000 annually is considered low.

Use the following formula to get an estimate of your annual miles:

Distance in miles one way to work or school, times 500, plus 5,000.

Example: 4 miles distance X 500 = 2,000 + 5,000 = 7,000 annual mileage.

Each company uses a unique formula, but the above should be good enough to give you an estimated calculation. Be sure to also ask if you are eligible for any other types of discounts you can take advantage off. Remember that every dollar counts because in the log run they will add up quickly. After all, since it's the law, you will most likely be insured for many years to come.

Auto Insurance Rates for Teenagers - Understanding how they work.

Rates are based on a few factors that may affect teenagers. Being young may have a negative impact on premium but should not discourage any teen. They must simply find a company who will offer a low rate by completing a rate comparison from multiple companies. Young drivers will quickly find out that rates vary widely within carriers and some will offer a lower rate than others.

Many ask the question: Should teens have their own policy? and Should I add my child to my policy or have them open a new one? That all depends on the needs of the policyholder and the offerings of the insurer. Some companies may not be compatible with young people with learners permits or vehicles that are high performance or modified. The estimated price may be lower with other carriers and it may be preferable to switch. The only way to find out is to get premium quotations.
