Response : Rihanna, this is continution of my part one “how parents can help their teens get cheap car insurance. Yes, once you have been able to teach your teen the driving school , more than 50% of the task of getting cheap teen car insurance or cheap teen auto insurance quotes is accomplished. Now comes the part of selecting the right vehicle.
Right choice of vehicle can get you cheap car insurance or cheap teen auto insurance and teen safety.
Rihanna, the most important part of the choice of car or vehicle or auto is going to play a more important role in helping your teen safety more than cheap teen auto insurance . As parents we all need to focus on the vehicle from the point of view of safety.
Believe me, for once, the general auto insurance company is with us and sharing the same interest since they are equally concerned of teen safety and preventing accidents, fatal crashes which are equally painful to them as us.
Most of us also focus on the value of the car rather than the safety features of the car. This is where we are wrong. It might be worth paying something extra for safety and getting cheap teen auto insurance for a number of years rather than trying to save money on the car now. The points we need to remember when we go for a choice of vehicle are :
Remember that bigger is safer : The law of physics is true that the bigger the vehicle and the heavier it is the safer it is. However, for a teen a mid=size car is more safer than a small one. Parents generally feel that they need to buy a small vehicle for their teen so that they cannot have a lot of friends with them and so they would be safer, but this is not true. A mid size car provides better protection than a small compact car in case of accidents. Please check on the related post of the blog on which vehicles are safe since the Insurance Institute for highway safety for top safety picks.
If you select a vehicle which is rated safe by the Insurance Institute for highway safety, you would get cheap teen auto insurance quotes.
Compare vehicles based on their performance , your teen needs and geographical area you reside in
You need to keep all these important points in mind and consideration when you decide on the vehicle. If you are living in an area which is an urban, high=traffic zone, it might be a good idea to select a smaller vehicle, for mileage parking and maneovur since this is going to help in getting less involved in accidents. If it is a mountain area like the rockies a heavy vehicle or a 4x vehicle would be more appropriate. Compare models for use and safety.
It is best to get a new car rather than an used car for teens. New cars get you cheap teen auto insurance rather than an used old car. New cars have all the advanced safety features. They are equiped with electronic stability control so that they donot roll over. SUV’s which are used do not have this.
Secondly, old cars may not have airbags and air brakes. Side air bags are also important to have in small cars.
Once you’ve narrowed your choices to a few makes and models, get car insurance quotes on those vehicles to learn which is cheapest to cover.
Vehicle with speed like sports car or hybrid cars do not give you cheap teen auto insurance and teen safety
Parents need to remember that hybrid vehicles are more expensive in cost and in terms of teen auto insurance. If you want cheap teen auto insurance than you must not select these vehicles for your teen. Secondly, the teen is a new driver and is less experieinced. The sports vehicles or hybrid vehicles pick up speed very fast and so the crash rates are higher.
Vehicles which have higher crash rates are more costly to insure and hence you must stay away from these vehicles if you want cheap teen auto insurance.
Make the right selection of the vehicle after all the above consideration. Vehicle make and type is going to decide the auto insurance rate. More important is the safety and utility of the vehicle also.
