How do you get cheap car insurance for 17-year-olds?
My daughter just got her license, and we already have a vehicle for her. How can we get her cheap car insurance at 17?

“While it’s not impossible, it’s very unlikely that you’ll find
cheap car insurance
for a 17-year-old.Since your daughter just got her license, she is considered a higher-risk driver by
car insurance companies
. Rates for these drivers are typically more expensive because insurers expect them to submit claims.One of the best ways for new drivers to avoid paying huge amounts of money for insurance is to be added to an experienced driver’s policy (e.g., their parents’ policy). So, consider adding your daughter to your car insurance until she’s more experienced. While your rate will increase, it should be lower than the cost of getting her own policy.
You should also look into discounts. Your insurer may offer young driver discounts for things like completing a driver safety course or maintaining good grades. Speak with an agent or search your insurance company’s website for details.
If the cost of adding your daughter to your current policy is too much, you should shop around. By comparison shopping with other companies, you could find a more affordable rate.
