As a teenager, your lack of driving experience means that you’re more likely to have a car accident. Your auto insurance premium reflects that risk. Whether you get your own car insurance, or you’re added to your parents’ policy, the cost is likely to be higher than average.
Insurers want to know that you’re a safe driver, so always drive carefully and follow the rules of the road.
If you can learn to be a patient driver, you’ll not only save on gas and car maintenance, but you’ll also avoid driving tickets and accidents.
Not all cars are equal. Some are costly to repair after an accident, while others are popular with thieves. And these differences will be reflected in the premium.
So if you’re torn between 2 or 3 models, get insurance quotes to help you decide. You might be surprised at how much you can save just by choosing a different vehicle.
