Could I get an insurance discount for taking driving lessons as an adult?

I'm an adult who's never had a driver's license. If I take driver's ed classes, could I get an insurance discount?

“Getting a driver’s license as an adult means that you’re sometimes at a disadvantage for
car insurance
rates. Typically as you age, rates decrease, but they are also dependent on your driving experience. That said, you’re on the right track for saving money on your insurance!
While a general driver’s ed course may not earn you a discount, you could qualify for other discounts.
Some car insurance companies offer discounts for taking
defensive driving courses or other training programs
. For example,
State Farm
offers a discount for taking their Steer Clear program. Anyone under the age of 25 qualifies and receives a discount after completion.
Depending on your occupation, you may also qualify for occupational discounts. You could also enroll in a
safe driver
or telematics program. These programs monitor your driving and provide discounts based on your driving behavior.
Beyond discounts, be sure to shop around before committing to a policy. Rates vary and shopping around ensures you’re getting the best price as a new driver.
