Cheaper Teen Auto Insurance -- How Teens Can Help

By Chimezirim Odimba

So your teen is now old enough to drive? While this should be a joyful moment, many parents remember it with some mixed feelings. Apart from safety concerns (we all know that teen driver statistics are far from pleasant), there are also money issues. Could you imagine the additional cost of gas? Furthermore, your premiums might triple just because of this teen driver, your teen. Are there tips that can help you pay a lot less. Good a thing, there are several. I'll share them with you...

I'll just reel out a good number of tips before dwelling on just one...

1. It would help if you made it a family policy that your teen pays part or all of his/her premium. If you do this, you'll find that your teen will be more like to take any advice from you that will help them drive down their payments (And such usually keep them safer too).

2. You don't really need collision/comprehensive coverage types on old cars. So, if it won't break your teen's heart, let him/her be made the secondary driver on your oldest car.

3. Let your kid learn to drive at a driving school and NOT on their own. 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. Encourage your teen to maintain straight A's or a minimum of B's. Auto insurers believe students who maintain good grades are less prone to recklessness.

5. Make sure your teen drives a car that has all the recommended safety gadgets/features.

6. Whenever they can, let your teen use the public transport system. It will cut down mileage and reduce your rates. Furthermore, you'll also save on gas!

7. Teens grew up with the internet and so are usually very good at finding their way around it. Let this work to your mutual benefit...

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. Take some time out to see their shortlist and pick which gives you the best price/value. Some folks have saved over $1,000 by doing this right. - 23211
