Reader’s Question:

I need all the help I can get to have cheaper car insurance here in Illinois for a young driver like me. It just seems so high for an 18-year old guy, so how can I make it lower?

There is a sad truth that young drivers are not known to be outstanding drivers when it comes to their safety records. Because of that, they are given higher car insurance quotes than other drivers in another age group. But that should not be a reason to worry too much since there are ways to have cheaper young driver car insurance.

First, you have to make sure that you give your best in your studies and perform well in school. You need to have an average of B or above so that you can be eligible for a good student discount. You can also qualify for another discount if you finish a course in defensive driving. Apart from being a more responsible driver, it can also lower your payment for your car insurance.

If you still live with your parents and use their car, you can just opt to be under their car insurance policy. You can save on your car insurance premiums this way rather than getting a separate policy altogether. Also, it will help you obtain car insurance quotes that are in your favour if you drive a less expensive and older vehicle. Likewise, you can also save on your car insurance if your car is equipped with safety features and security devices such as car alarms, air bags, anti-theft device, etc.
