How can I get cheaper car insurance for my 18-year-olds?
I have two 18-year-olds coming out of high school and going into college this year—I’m incredibly proud of them, and I want to make sure their cars have the insurance they need when they head off to school. However, I wasn’t able to add them to my plan while they were in high school because of how costly it was, and I’m a little worried about how expensive their plans are going to be. What’s the best way to get cheaper insurance for teens?

Congrats to your kids! Teens are often more expensive to insure, but there are some great shopping tips and
discounts
that you can follow to secure the cheapest auto insurance rates for your teen.The best way to start is comparing multiple cheap auto insurance quotes, which could save you as much as 50% over the most expensive carrier. It’s recommended that you get at least three different quotes from three different companies before settling on the quote you want!
You should also monitor your teens’ driving habits. An accident could cause their rates to skyrocket, while a clean record could earn them a
safe driver discount
. Good grades could also net them a good student discount, so they’ll also have another reason to keep their grades up!Shopping for car insurance and comparing quotes can feel a little overwhelming at times. If you want to compare policies quickly and easily, check out the
