FAQ

Teen Driver Insurance questions, answered.

What Kirkland and Eastside clients ask us most often about teen driver insurance.

When do I need to add my teen to my car insurance?
Tell us as soon as your teen gets an instruction permit; most carriers cover permit drivers on the parents' policy at no extra charge. Once they receive an intermediate license, they must be listed as a driver, and the premium changes from that date.
What are Washington's rules for new teen drivers?
An intermediate license comes with restrictions: for the first six months, no passengers under 20 except immediate family; after that, no more than three passengers under 20; no driving between 1 AM and 5 AM without a licensed adult 25 or older; and no wireless-device use while driving. Restrictions lift after a year of violation-free driving or at 18.
Why is insurance so expensive for teens and how can we lower it?
Newly licensed drivers have the highest accident rates, and carriers price accordingly. The biggest levers: good-student discounts, driver-training discounts, telematics apps that reward safe driving, assigning the teen to the least expensive car and keeping the teen on the family policy rather than a separate one.
Should my teen have their own policy?
Almost never. Adding a teen to the family policy is cheaper than a separate policy and keeps them covered by your liability limits. A separate policy only makes sense in unusual situations, which we can walk through with you.
Does my teen need full coverage?
If the car they drive is financed, yes. If it is an older paid-off car, liability-only can be a reasonable way to keep the premium down, but we still recommend uninsured motorist coverage and adequate liability limits.
What if my teen goes to college out of state?
Tell us. Many carriers offer a distant-student discount if the college is more than 100 miles away and the teen leaves the car at home, while keeping them covered when they drive during breaks.
