How do I get cheap car insurance for teenager who is attending college?
Jackie Kennedy : My son is heading off to college. He is currently on my auto policy, which is very expensive. He will be living 3 hrs away from home with NO car. I would like to drop him off my policy, to save money, but when he comes home on vacation, he will need to drive. What are the best options for this situation and how can I get cheap teen auto insurance?
Cheap car insurance rates for teen auto insurance
Response : Jackie teen auto insurance especially for young boys is normally very expensive than the girls of the same age group. You had a good strategy of having your son as a named driver on your auto insurance policy and this most certainly gave you cheap car insurance rates since you were the principal driver of the car and so the rating would follow the principal diver with a surcharge for the named driver.
The best alternates for you to have teen auto insurance quotes when your son is at home and since he is driving is either to declare at the time of the vaccation to your insurance company and get him added as a named driver for the time being, and in any case as per the insurance norms you need to declare any drivers in your household living with you to the insurance company. The would add your son on the policy but you will have to pay higher for the teen auto insurance quotes.
The second alternative is to buy a short term policy naming your teen as the primary driver – this would enable him to build a driving history for himself and also be eligible for higher discounts at a later date since he has established a driving history. You can ask him to pay for his own insurance policy and this way you will establish responsiblity on the driver.
Last but not least compare teen auto insurance quotes online and you will certainly be able to get cheap car insurance.
Thanks.
