The cost of being a new driver and car owner are shockingly expensive, at least at first. Luckily, your niece can save on her
car insurance
as a new driver with a few tips.
Some companies extend discounts to good students or new drivers. If your niece is under the age of 25,
State Farm
offers a great program called Steer Clear. Steer Clear is a program that drivers under 25 can complete to save money on their car insurance.
Other major companies, like Progressive and GEICO, offer telematics or driving behavior discount programs. Taking a driver training course can also get her a discount with several companies.
To make the most of her budget, make sure she shops around with at least three different car insurance companies. Rates vary between companies, so comparison shopping ensures she’s getting the best price.
