4 Reasons Why You Should Add Your Teen To Your Car Insurance

8/22/2022

4 Comments

​It's a milestone for your teen and their growing-up years to be able to learn how to drive a car. Your teen driving a car comes with great responsibility. It will make you feel safe and secure if your teen is insured. 

Getting car insurance for them should be planned out as soon as or before your teen gets their learner's permit. Start by knowing how much it will cost and what their car insurance will cover.
There are two options you can choose from getting car insurance for your teen:
  • You can add them to your current car insurance
  • You can purchase a policy solely just for your teen

1. You May Be Legally Required 

Under the law, it may be required for all drivers to be insured. You can go with the less expensive option of adding them to your current car insurance rather than purchasing another policy.

2. Car Accident Coverages
These are the major causes of car accidents involving teenagers driving:
  • Inexperienced driving
  • Nighttime and weekend driving
  • Not wearing seatbelts
  • Distracted driving (texting while driving)
  • Alcohol/substance abuse
  • Speeding

Teens may be more free-spirited when it comes to driving, which may increase the risk of being involved in driving accidents. Liability insurance should protect them from car accidents where they are the ones that have caused the accident to occur. This insurance should cover their medical expenses.

3. Coverage For Car Damages
Liability insurance should also cover property damages. A property or a vehicle that would be damaged should cover the expenses of repairing the car or property of the other people involved in the car accident. 

4. More Options On The Car Insurance Policy
Your insurance policy may have an option to suspend your teen's coverage if they are not to use a vehicle and be away from home. You still get to have control and be able to make decisions for your teen's insurance coverage, which is not an available option if you were to get a separate one.

Conclusion
Getting your teens and the cars insured may protect you from unexpected expenses from possible incidents. Less expensive options for your teen's car insurance would be convenient since the specific policies were for car accidents or other occurrences.

If you own a sporty type of an automobile it may work out cheaper to buy your teen a starter car and insure it separately. It is important to be prepared. I owned a Cayenne when my daughter got her license. She passed in her first try that caused a problem because the insurance company wouldn't add her with the Cayenne. And to be honest, I wouldn't let her drive such a powerful vehicle at that early stage.
So, I had to sell it and buy a Mercedes B class which was much safer for her. Also, we agreed to have a telematics device installed that reduced the auto insurance cost in half.

There are several reasons why you should add your teen to your car insurance. One reason is that it will make them a more responsible driver. Studies have shown that teens who are on their parents' insurance are less likely to get into accidents. Another reason to add your teen to your car insurance is that it will save you money in the long run. If your teen gets into an accident while they are on your insurance, your rates will not go up as much as they would if they were uninsured.
