Adding teenage drivers to auto insurance policies is often a top concern for parents, with rates spiking an average of 80% nationwide when teens are covered. The guide explains that the added risk of an inexperienced driver is enough for insurance companies to justify raising premiums. However, there are ways parents can avoid high policy costs, even when adding a young driver to their policy.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), teen drivers ages 16-19 are four times more likely to be involved in fatal crashes than drivers aged 20 and over. While rate increases are unavoidable for underage first-time drivers, costs usually reduce after the first 12-18 months if no accidents or traffic violations occur.
The guide from Mosaic Insurance Alliance covers seven tips for reducing insurance costs for teen drivers. Strategies include raising deductibles, driving safe vehicles, encouraging good grades, using telematics apps to monitor driving habits, and more.
Parents can monitor their teen's driving habits and benefit from an insurance discount with telematics. With a simple mobile app installation, parents can see their teens braking behaviors, acceleration tendencies, phone usage, and more. The agency explains that this can be a great teaching tool to help them avoid injuries, accidents, and tickets while encouraging safe and responsible driving habits.
Mosaic Insurance Alliance suggests parents initially add their teens as non-rated drivers to avoid affecting the premium while they have a driving permit. This informs the insurance company of their presence without increasing the cost. When the young driver obtains a license, they can be added as a rated driver, resulting in a premium increase at that point.
"We know that seeing your auto insurance rates increase can be frustrating for families," said a spokesperson from Mosaic Insurance Alliance. "Our report helps parents understand exactly why rates increase with teen drivers and steps they can take to keep costs as low as possible while still getting quality coverage."

What is frozen shoulder? Symptoms, treatment, risk factors and exercises
When her left shoulder began to ache shortly before she turned 50, my sister Carol Wilson ignored the pain and put it down to a poor-quality mattress. She hoped the situation would resolve when she moved house in the UK – and got a new bed. The pain continued. “I kept hoping it would get better,” she says. “But it didn’t.” Her doctor diagnosed a frozen shoulder and alluded to it being something that occurred in “women of a certain age”. He prescribed physiotherapy, which didn’t help her much,...
