Practical Tips to Keep Young Drivers Safe and Insurance Costs Manageable
knows that a teen's first license brings excitement � and higher insurance costs. Factors like age, driving distance and the type of vehicle all influence rates. In honor of National Traffic Awareness Month, Mercury is sharing tips to help parents of first-time drivers keep premiums as low as possible.
"National Traffic Awareness Month is an important reminder of how vital safe driving and proper preparation are � especially for teens getting behind the wheel for the first time," said Kevin Quinn, VP Claims, Auto, Mercury Insurance.

Some tips to lower your auto insurance rates with young new drivers include:
- Bundle multiple insurance policies � Bundling your auto insurance policy along with your homeowners or umbrella policy can help keep costs down. Always be sure to ask for this discount.
- Shop around � This may seem like a no-brainer, but taking the time to shop around for auto insurance quotes can save you a reasonable sum of money.
- Increase your deductible � Raising your deductible will lower the cost of your monthly premium. It is important to make sure that the deductible is within your budget should you need to file a claim.
- Buy your teen a clunker � Most first-time drivers do not need a newer, expensive car to drive. Buying a reliable, older car as your teen is gaining experience makes good sense.
- Check for student discounts (good grades) � It should be noted that many insurance companies offer discounts for students who maintain a B average or higher. These discounts are often
10% to25% and apply to full-time students under 25.
Taking the time to ask key questions and compare prices can help new drivers save money and stay within budget.
