Reducing Car Insurance Rates for Teenagers

One of the highest car insurance rate category belongs to teenagers, and there is not much that can be done about it. However, there are a few ways to bring those rates lower. Here is an article I wrote about it.

How Car Insurance Rates For Teenagers Can Be Dropped

Car insurance rates for teenagers tend to be pretty expensive. This is because teens are thought to be dangerous, risky drivers by the insurance companies. Indeed, statistics show that 16-20 year olds are involved in more accidents than anyone else.

Fortunately, there are a few ways in which the costs can be brought down. To begin with, parents may be able to save money by asking their agent to raise the deductibles on the teen's policy. This may lower the premiums. In order to get the best out of this method, however, parents need to go for the highest amount of deductibles they can afford.

Another way to cut down car insurance rates for teenagers is by giving them older cars to drive. Sure, they all want to drive around in fast sports cars, but those types of vehicles are considered to be more "risky" than older, less "sporty" ones. Moreover, the collision and/or comprehensive coverage *may* even be dropped when teens driver older cars.

Teens who make good grades can get discounts on insurance rates. Just as long as they maintain at least a 3.00 average, they may be eligible for discounts. Parents can use the money they save to encourage their teenagers to continue working hard.

All in all, the more responsible a teen is, the more money his or her family can save. Car insurance rates for teenagers will almost always be more than average, but the price can be reduced some for those who drive responsibly, work hard in school, and have the willingness to drive older vehicles.

These are just some of the few ways car insurance rates for teenagers can be reduced. There are other tips, tricks, and secrets as well. If you need more affordable insurance, you can use the internet for researching. You can also receive free advice and even quotes!
