Pick the right car insurance for your teens needs – check the deductible- and coverage options
Make sure your teen is informed by using Teen Driving Tips and reinforcing best practices even after Drivers Education this will avoid accidents.
Does your teen drive short distances or is an occasional driver? ( starting out as an occasional driver on your parents insurance can not only ease them into driving but can save on your wallet as well)
Choose the right Vehicle for your teen ( safe, reliable and non-sporty vehicles tend to be lower to insure than others – also be sure to get a quote before purchasing- some import car models such as Subaru, Honda and Toyota may actually be less than more popular models)
Insuring on the parents insurance policy tends to be less than having their own policy ( find out if this is right for you and your teen)
Look into PLPD or Comprehensive Coverage as long as there is not a loan on the vehicle having a lower coverage plan can make sense from a cost savings perspective
Some insurance companies have accident forgiveness – plan in advance for your teen and perhaps shopping around or talking to your insurance provider may get you the best rates. If you are a long term client more than likely they will look into cost saving options for you and your family.
