Will I be able to get an affordable teenage auto insurance in Alaska?

Justin

During a time when the economy is suffering from a downturn, it is a wise decision to shop for an affordable teenage auto insurance in Alaska before buying one. In order for a student to obtain a lower auto insurance premium, consider getting the minimum liability coverage for the state. That is, get only at least $50,000 for a single bodily injuries, $100,000 for all bodily injuries, and $25,000 for property damage.

Being a student, you should stick with the minimum auto insurance coverage especially if you are paying your own car insurance. This coverage will also be enough if your car is inexpensive since you can have it fixed easily or ignore minor dents and scratches. In this regard, you should buy a cheap car that has a four-cylinder engine. Insurance companies charge lower auto premiums for this type of cars. Another way for you to get a lower teenage auto insurance in Alaska is to maintain at least a B average at school. This is like hitting two birds with one stone. You make your parents happy by getting a good grade and you enjoy substantial discount. If your parents are paying for your insurance, they’d be very pleased with you.

If you are still living with your parents, it is best to have you listed on your parents auto insurance policy. It is cheaper that way than having a separate teenage auto insurance.
One of the best ways to lower your annual premiums is to have a higher deductible amount.. Like a $1,000, is what I carry personally.

Now, if you are a claim free and safe driver like I am, you could be saving a ton of money each year on your premiums.  People fail to realize that the deductible amount is only paid when they file a claim and their insurance company pays that claim.

Reader’s Question:

I would like to know how much my father can expect insurance premiums to increase if he adds me to his car insurance? I just got my G2 last month. I have also taken a drivers defensive course and have held a G1 for a year. I’m only 19 years old and our current annual premium is between 1800-2000.

Allan

The cost of adding a teenager with a G2 to an auto insurance policy will vary depending primarily on the type of car(s) you own, the age of the new driver and the young driver’s driving record. An auto insurance charge will be applied to your father’s insurance. All G2 motorist living in their parent’s household and driving a car must be added to their auto insurance policy.

Generally, adding you to the policy can up the rates by $1000 – $2000, so doubling the cost of your father’s insurance is possible depending upon your parent’s insurance provider’s rating system. Your father should speak with his auto insurance agent or company to get a quote for how much it will cost to add a teen to the policy now that you hold your G2. Make sure that he mentions your driver’s education course to acquire a discount for that.

Reader’s Question:

Do I need to rush to get my teenage daughter her Michigan car insurance as soon as her permit and car are ready?

Candice

Yes.

Do not procrastinate just so you can save a few dollars. If you delay and your teenage daughter gets involved in a car accident, your insurance company generally will cover it, but can retroactively charge the higher premium, or worse revoke your coverage. Also, never carry less coverage on a teenager who happens to be a high risk driver, or you will be forced to cover the damages from you own pocket.

A few tips to help lower the rate you will pay for auto insurance with your teen driver can be some of the following:

Reader’s Question:

I have a son who will get his license in the next two month. I am just wondering if he can purchase his own auto insurance. If he cannot then at what age can he get car insurance? Is there someone who specializes in auto insurance for teenagers?

Emily

Usually insurance carriers permit people to buy insurance at the age of 15 or 16. But, until they are 18 years old, they are considered minors. Since a car insurance policy is a legally binding contract, usually a minor or teen cannot sign it alone otherwise, the insurance policy could be considered as void. In this case, a parent or legal guardian is required usually to sign the documentation with the minor.

Since the parents or legal guardians are responsible for the minor’s actions, it’s best to have a them sign the documents with the minor. In this way, the parents or legal guardians can make certain that the minor or teen buys enough insurance to protect their own financial interests. Once the individual turns 18 years old, s/he is responsible for his/her own actions and decisions. As a result, s/he can sign his/her own documents and contracts.
