Insuring a Teenage Driver -- Cheap car insurance for young drivers
It is imperative that when your teen starts driving he/she be included as an additional driver on your policy. New, young drivers have high premium rates because they are inexperienced and tend to get into a higher percentage of traffic accidents than more experienced operators. A teen girl can raise your rates by 50 percent, while a teen boy will raise them up to 120 percent.
There are strategies that can temper this almost certain rise in rates. Taking a driver education course, making good grades in school, and driving a safe car will help your son or daughter lessen their premiums. Additionally, adding your child to your policy rather than having them purchase their own will result in a considerably lower premium. Of course, if your child stays out of trouble, his or her rates will not rise. Unsafe driving, driving while under the influence, and accidents will be detrimental to sustaining a lower policy rate.
Perhaps one of the best things a parent can do is communicate the need to be a safe and smart driver. Also, if your children see you being a safe driver when they are young there is a high probability that when they reach driving age they will model your behavior.
