When it’s time for your kids to get behind the wheel, you want to ensure they have the auto insurance coverage they need. Teendriving.com provides some useful tips for buying car insurance for teens:

  • Check with your auto insurance company to see if they provide a “good grade” discount — this typically requires that your teenager maintain an A or B average.
  • A commercial auto insurance company or direct auto insurance company probably provides some discounts for completing a safe driver course. Check with your insurance agent or insurance carrier for more details.
  • Save on your auto insurance price by purchasing auto insurance coverage for your new teen driver that makes them the primary driver or “family driver” on the oldest and least costly vehicle. Ask your insurance agent for more details!
  • Check auto insurance ratings with your commercial auto insurance carrier for your teenager before buying a new or used car. Sports cars and more expensive cars often have a higher auto insurance price.
  • Review the crash safety ratings and average repair costs for any car you buy — that impacts the auto insurance ratings, too.

Price shop before you buy. And keep in mind, service is as important as price!
