Adding a Teen Driver? Here’s What to Expect with Your Insurance

Getting a driver’s license is a huge milestone. For parents, it’s exciting and a little nerve-wracking. From an insurance standpoint, it’s also one of the biggest changes your policy will ever see.

Here’s what you need to know.

Expect Your Premium to Increase

Teen drivers statistically have higher accident rates. Because of this risk, premiums typically increase when a teen is added to your policy.

But don’t panic — there are ways to manage it.

Good Student Discounts

Many carriers offer discounts for teens maintaining a B average or higher.

Driver Training Discounts

Completing an approved defensive driving course can also lower costs.

Vehicle Matters

Adding your teen to a newer, higher-value vehicle will cost more than assigning them to an older, safe, moderate-value car.

Liability Limits Become More Important

With inexperienced drivers, increasing liability coverage is often wise. Minimum limits may not be enough in a serious accident.
