How do I get cheap car insurance for a 17-year-old?
My daughter is 17 and just got her license—she's worked really hard, and I'm so proud of her! I want to add her to my policy, but I've heard that adding younger drivers can be really expensive. She's studied really hard, and I want her to be able to drive legally—so is there a way to get cheap car insurance for young drivers like my daughter?

“Big congrats to your daughter; that’s a huge milestone! Generally, insuring a 17-year-old is going to be pricey no matter how you look at it.
Car insurance
companies put drivers under 25 in the high-risk category, and the annual average cost to insure a teen driver is between $2,400 and $5,500. However, there are still a couple of ways you can save money!You should ask your car insurance company about discounts. Some of the most popular discounts for young drivers and their parents include:
- Discounts for takingdefensive driving classes
- Alumni, fraternity, sorority, and honor society discounts (once your daughter heads off to college)
