8. Will the type of car my teen driver uses affect my premiums?

For the lowest insurance premiums, the best cars for teen drivers are minivans or sedans; just say “no” to sports vehicles and new cars. Also, look for safety features like automatic seat belts and daytime running lights.

"Parents often want to be nice to their kids or reward them for good grades by surprising them with a new car," says Webber. "But sometimes, a little bit of common sense helps too. Just buy an older, safe car."

Ask The Car Insurance Expert

Q:

I hit a parked car. Will I have to pay a deductible?

A:

No, if the owner of the car makes a claim against you, there’s no deductible. Liability insurance, which is for the damage you do to others, does not have a deductible...

Q:

I made a vandalism claim. Should I make a claim for a fender bender?

A:

If it were me, I probably would not file a small claim. You don’t say what your deductible is or your damage estimate, but if you’d net only a small amount after your deductible, it’s probably better to avoid another claim...
