It sounds like a dream. But, with a little effort many unexpected things are achievable, so affordable auto insurance for student drivers could be possible if the student meets the criteria.
What makes someone a ‘good student’? Well, being on the honor roll or having good grades is one way to prove that you fit the criteria for getting access to affordable auto insurance. Being a ‘good student’ means the auto insurer is willing to assess you as a lower risk than many other young people and therefore reduce the premium paid to insure your vehicle.
Luckily, you can be seen as a ‘good student for other reasons, too. For example, if you are a full time university or community college student, it is possible that an auto insurer will consider you sympathetically in terms of risk and offer a better auto insurance premium. Get your details to various auto insurers to see what offers are available.
Above all, take the matter into your own hands rather than just accepting the high premium as if it was set in stone. Look for ways to get some downward movement on that premium. Too often, we become powerless because of the difficulty of making a case to insurers, but should you succeed in getting more affordable insurance, you will not begrudge the time it took.
Maybe proving ‘good student’ status is not possible in this particular instance. Then look at other ways to reduce the premium such as buying the student an inexpensive car and restricting the insurance cover to the essentials by raising the deductibles or eliminating expendable cover such as collision and comprehensive altogether.
Although raising the deductible would still be a possibility, elimination of collision and comprehensive would not be sound advice if your student was driving an expensive car, for example a Lexus SUV.
Smart students can get affordable auto insurance. It might be easier for ‘good students,’ but smart students can figure out a way to make the system work for them. Just approach your insurer about the options.
