Cheap Teen Auto Insurance -- Ways Your Kid Can Help


You now have a teenager who is asking to start driving. This should have been a clearly joyous moment but for some reasons, it's filled with mixed feelings. While you pray that your teen stays safe behind wheels, you're also concerned that it would raise your costs. Sure, you'd spend more on gas now. Worse still is the fact that the family's auto insurance spend is going to increase by as much as three times just because of one driver -- albeit their beloved kid. Is there anything your teen can do to help you cut down costs? A lot! I'll share them with you...

Because of time and space constraint, I'll give you a list of several tips (I'll only dwell on one)...

1. Let your kid pay at least part of the bill if they must drive. If they are responsible for paying part of the bills they'll be more open to suggestions that will reduce your rate.

2. Make him/her a secondary driver on your oldest car (Such a car should be ok without comprehensive and collision coverage).

3. Don't allow your teen to learn driving from fellow teens. If they've done that, let them upgrade their driving skills at a certified defensive driving center. Auto insurance providers have a favorable bias to teens that do this.

4. Good grades help. So let your teen endeavor to get straight A's but nothing less than B's. Auto insurers believe students who maintain good grades are less prone to recklessness.

5. Kids who drive cars that have high safety ratings pay less on auto insurance.

6. Whenever they can, let your teen use the public transport system. Lower mileage means cheaper rates. This is without counting the precious dollars you'd save on gas.

7. Teens are very comfortable with the internet (We all know how hard it is to get them off those computers). 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 more time on their hands and are definitely more comfortable with the internet.

So describe what you're looking for: The best quote that does NOT leave you compromised in any way. Let them get and compare quotes up to five reputable sites.

Tell them to pick out the very best five or so quotes. You can go through those short listed and make the final decision. If done right, you could save over a thousand in premium dollars by doing this alone.
