Adding a Teen to Your Car Insurance Policy

If your teen is approaching driving age, it may be time to start thinking about adding them to your auto insurance policy. Although this will likely cause your premiums to rise, there are several things you can do to help keep your teen safe and your rates affordable.

Here are some tips to consider when adding a teen to your auto policy:

• Pick the right car. Used cars, SUVs, minivans and Sedans are often the most affordable for teen drivers.

• Consider using the variety of high tech telematic systems to provide feedback and coach your new driver.

• Enroll your teen in a safe driving course. A safe driving course will teach your teen the rules of the road.

• Increase your collision deductible. Your monthly premiums will typically be lower with a higher deductible.

• Lay out clear safety expectations. Your teen should know never to text or drink while driving.

Having a new driver in the family is an exciting time, but it can also bring about a variety of questions. Contact us today for more auto insurance and safety tips.
