In this  newsletter, one of our policy experts Evelyn Barrios answers the following question...

Q - My teen-ager is about to start driving.  Is there anything that I need to know with regards to insurance so that I don't end up spending more money than I need to ?

First of all, congratulations on making it through the first part of the teen years.  Many parents ask the same question, so here are a few things to consider...

• The vehicle that your teen-ager drives should be registered to you.  This way they can be insured as an additional driver and you can receive a multi-vehicle discount.
• The car that your child drives should be at least seven years old.  This way it can be covered by a simple liability policy.
• Many insurance companies give discounts for students with high grade point averages.  This is known as a "Good student credit."
• Lastly, make sure that your new driver has successfully completed a driver's education course.

I hope this helps answer your question.  If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact me or any of our representatives.
