How to add a teen driver without overpaying

Practical steps to add a new young driver and capture every available discount.

  1. 1

    Add them to your policy

    Adding a teen to your existing policy is usually cheaper than a separate one.

  2. 2

    Ask about a good-student discount

    Many insurers discount teens who maintain a B average.

  3. 3

    Consider the car they drive

    A safe, modest used car costs less to insure than a new or high-performance one.

  4. 4

    Look into a telematics program

    Usage-based programs can reward safe driving with lower rates.
