Are you one of those lucky parents who has a child that is about to get their drivers license? You know what that means…
Your car insurance is about to go up.
How much will your car insurance go up when you get a teenage driver on average?
It depends.
How much your car insurance increases when you add a teenager depends on a number of different things, but here are just a few:
- The insurance company you are currently with — some insurance companies charge more for teenage drivers than others.
- The type of car that your teenager will be driving.
- Whether or not your teenager has went to drivers education or not.
- Whether or not your teenager gets good grades.
- How often your teenager will be driving.
Ok, so how much can you expect your car insurance to go up when you add a teenage driver?
Roughly double to start with.
So if you are currently paying $100 per month, you can set your expectations that for the same amount of coverage with a teenage driver you will now be paying about $200.
Obviously, there are differences between companies, but when you add a teenager to your car insurance, you can expect your insurance costs to be about double of what they were. And if it turns out that they are less than double?
It is your lucky day.
