Add your teen to yours or spouse’s insurance policy. You are definitely going to save a lot of bucks.

Buy a "Fully Comprehensive Auto Insurance Package". True that all packages cover theft and accidents but this package covers accidents even if they are not the driver’s fault. Naturally young drivers are more prone to accidents. it is researched and proved that in many cases the fault was of the younger driver. So it is good to cover that in your insurance. However do not forget to brief your teen that even this package covers only 80% of the original value of the car.

If your child can manage to keep the mileage low, this will help you save a lot on insurance.
