Moms and Dads always asked the car insurance agent this question.Why is car insurance so high for teenagers?First of all, please bare in mind that teenagers are not that experience to convince a car insurance company to lower down the car insurance pays.

A young driver is usually not as experienced as an older one. In addition, you’ll agree that younger drivers typically try funny things on the road if only to show off to their colleagues (Insurance companies call such funny things recklessness and they make them pay higher car insurance premium).

All these, put together, increase the probability that a teen driver will crash a car. To further confirm this inclination, statistics show that teenagers are involved in more car crashes than the sum of all other age groups!

If you’re worried about the cost of insuring your teenager, here’s good news. Your teen will attract lower auto insurance rates if they do the following…

1) Raise their deductibles.

2) Get good grades in school.

3) Be made the primary driver on the family’s oldest or cheapest car.

4) Take a course in defensive driving.

5) Use a smaller cheaper car.

6) Use a car that has a high safety rating.

7) Get and compare auto insurance quotes from a minimum of three insurance quotes sites.

If your teen does all these, they’ll reduce the high risk associated with them and end up with lower auto insurance rates.
Hope this will help you choose wisely which car insurance company you will want to subscribe for your teenagers.Also, you can always try out all listed ways to lower down you car insurance rates save some money.

There is no definitive ‘best’ first car, as every insurance company has their own set of rules when working out how much to charge for car insurance. However, we can give you a few tips to help you get a better car insurance deal.

* Get a car with a small engine, for example a 1.1 litre rather than a 1.6 litre, which is normally in a lower insurance group rating. You’ll also tend to pay less road tax for a small engine car.
* Stick to a basic or mid range specification car as these usually have a lower insurance group rating and avoid any performance models e.g. GTI, SXI, Sport.
* Avoid any modifications (upgrades to enhance styling, audio or performance), not only are modified vehicles more attractive to car thieves, they tend to be more expensive to fix and can increase your level of risk and premium.
* Add a second driver (named driver) to the policy, over the age of 25 with a clean license. Parents are usually a good idea and with women being cheaper to insure than men, mums are usually best!
* Get a Pass Plus certificate. Lots of insurance companies offer discounts to new driver who participate in the scheme.
* Increase your voluntary excess. Choosing a higher voluntary excess when you take out your policy will reduce the price of your insurance policy.

It’s standard for most insurance companies to ask the question about non-motoring convictions. It gives an indication of the moral hazard/risk of the insured. For example, if a driver had been found guilty of dishonesty, fraud or theft then the insurance company is less likely to accept them as a policyholder because of this or will charge more for a policy.

However they don’t ask for the specific details of the non-motoring conviction as there are too many to choose from and they are constantly changing, instead we just ask if you have a non-motoring conviction.

Please note: Spent convictions don’t need to be disclosed under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974
