e following to help keep your premiums reasonable:
· Shop Around – Insurers rate risk differently so shopping around can save hundreds or perhaps thousands of dollars. Get as many quotes as possible and make sure you are comparing apples to apples in regards to coverages and deductibles. Our website makes it easy for you to obtain multiple free quotes by simply providing your zip code. Then, instantly, you can compare your best options.
· Good Grades – Push your teen to carry at least a B average. This can result in savings up to 15 percent every year. These reductions can continue throughout graduate school. If you have newer vehicles, the discounts will be quite large, since youthful policyholders are often assigned to the most expensive cars for rating purposes. Even vehicles without collision and comprehensive coverage will see large discounts.
Plain Car – Putting your teen in a sports car will elevate the premium. Finding a safe sedan will result in a much better price. Perhaps one of the best vehicles to buy (and one of the safest), is a used SUV that has about 50,000-80,000 miles of wear. The price will be right and there will be plenty of safety features to keep your teen safe. But don't forget to check the tires and verify that they're not the same tires that came factory-installed. A new set of tires may cost between $250 and $500, but you'll notice a huge difference, especially in bad weather conditions.

April 2015 -- New research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety estimates that 58% of all accidents involving teenagers were partially caused by distraction. Furthermore, three out of every four rear-end crashes, and nine out of every ten road-departure incidents were impacted by distractions.
Incredibly, drivers involved in these accidents were not watching the road for approximately four of the six seconds immediately preceding the crash. Some of the most common contributing factors were cellphone usage, talking with other passengers, attempting to pick up an object, and observing items either inside or outside of the vehicle.
