Car Insurance For Young Adults

Typically, young adults are going to pay more for their car insurance than anyone else under age 70, because they are considered
the riskiest on the road. However, young adults can lower their auto insurance rate by taking a defensive driver course, raising their
comprehensive and collision coverage deductibles, commuting through public transportation, buying a home or renters policy
through the same car insurance company, or buying a safer car.
Ways to Save on Your Car Insurance
One way to save money on your auto insurance is to purchase a vehicle with front and side airbags,
antilock breaks, automatic seatbelts and daytime running lights. Many auto insurance companies
give discounts for these safety features, not to mention cars with these features are generally
cheaper to insure! Another way to save a few bucks is to join an auto club, such as American
Automobile Association (AAA), or taking advantage of discounts through your employer.
In the event you own an older vehicle, it may be a good idea to drop the collision and comprehensive
coverages from your car insurance policy, because both coverages require you to pay a deductible
in the event you file a claim, and in some cases, that may be more than your car is worth.
If you were recently married or are about to be married, you will notice a considerable drop in your
auto insurance rates. That’s because insurance companies view married couples as more “stable”
and less of a risk. Also, when you turn 25, you can expect to see a decrease in your auto insurance
rate because auto insurance companies view people 25 and older as a more “stable driver”.

Living With Mom and Dad
If you still live with your parents, but don’t own your own car, you are still eligible to remain on their
policy. This will save you money because your parents are considered lower-risk drivers and will
likely have a better auto insurance rate than if you had car insurance on your own. However, if you
purchase your own vehicle, most car insurance companies will require you to buy your own
insurance, to avoid any confusion as to who the car belongs to.

Financial Picture

Just be careful as to not sacrifice adequate car insurance to save a couple extra bucks. For
instance, if you’re in a major accident with an uninsured motorist, and your medical bills are high,
you will end up paying for those bills, not the uninsured motorist!
