Understanding Teen Driver Insurance
Why Teen Insurance Costs So Much
Teen drivers are statistically the riskiest group on the road. Drivers aged 16-19 are 3x more likely to be in a fatal crash than drivers 20 and older. Insurance companies price this risk into premiums, resulting in increases of 100-200% when adding a teen to your policy.
