Average teen car insurance costs in Georgia

On average, insuring a teen driver in Georgia costs $6,397 per year for a policy with 100/300/100 coverage limits – that’s $100,000 for one person injured in an accident, $300,000 for all injuries in a single accident, and $100,000 for property damage – plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive.

Because teens are new to the road, insurers view them as higher risk, which makes their premiums much steeper than those of adults.

Your rate may also change based on the coverage you select, the type of car your teen drives, and where you live. Families in Georgia can save money by asking about good student discounts, signing up teens for a driving course, or adding them to an existing family policy.

Teen car insurance rates in Georgia, by gender

In most states, insurers set rates differently for male and female drivers, though California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania prohibit this. In Georgia, a 16-year-old male pays around $8,642 per year, compared to $7,887 for a female – a difference of $755.

Crash data helps explain the gap. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, 3,048 teens ages 13-19 lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2023, and two out of three were male. Because young men are more likely to be in serious accidents, insurers factor that risk into their rates.

The table below shows average teen car insurance rates in Georgia by gender.

AgeAverage annual premium for maleAverage annual premium for female
16$8,642$7,887

Minimum coverage requirements for teens in Georgia

In Georgia, teen drivers must meet the same minimum liability requirements as adults:

  • $25,000 for bodily injury liability per person
  • $50,000 for bodily injury liability per accident
  • $25,000 for property damage liability

These limits are designed as a baseline, but they may not be enough to cover serious accidents. Many families choose higher limits for more protection when adding a teen driver.

If the car is financed or leased, comprehensive and collision coverage are also required. These cover damage to your own car from accidents, theft, or weather.

Ways to save on teen car insurance in Georgia

While teen premiums are high, there are steps you can take to lower costs without cutting back on safety:

  • Check averages first. Knowing what others pay in your state helps you budget and spot quotes that are too high.
  • Choose a practical car. A safe, modest sedan is much cheaper to insure than a luxury or sports model.
  • Go beyond liability. Full coverage is pricier but offers better protection against accidents, injuries, and damage.
  • Use discounts. Good grades, safe driving programs, and low mileage can all reduce premiums.
  • Talk about responsibility. Help your teen understand that safe driving protects both lives and finances.
  • Review each year. Rates usually drop as teens gain experience and keep a clean record, so revisit your policy annually.

Helping your teen start off safely on the road

Adding a teen to your policy will raise your rates at first, but those costs don’t stay high forever. With each year of safe driving, premiums generally go down.

You can lower expenses by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and asking about discounts. More importantly, insuring your teen isn’t just about following state rules – it’s about protecting your finances and giving your young driver a safe, confident start on the road.
