Insurance is about risk, and teens as drivers are definitely in the category. However, simply having a teen driver doesn’t automatically mean the same risk across the board. For example, a teen who drives a car only on the weekend has a statistically lower accident risk than one who drives a car every day on a commute. This distinction matters a lot, especially when it translates to a premium difference on the car owner’s wallet. Unfortunately, many folks don’t fully understand how risk is rated for car insurance. So they either don’t let their teen drive the covered car at all, hoping to avoid a significant cost increase, or they opt for the largest cost category of frequent driving which may not apply to how often the car is used by a related teen. Both end up mismatching an insurance policy with the actual need.
