Average teen car insurance costs in Vermont

On average, insuring a teen driver in Vermont costs $4,534 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 Vermont can save money by asking about good student discounts, signing up teens for a driving course, or adding them to an existing family policy.

Though still higher than adult premiums, the steady decline shows how added years of driving lead to more affordable coverage.

Teen car insurance rates in Vermont, 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 Vermont, a 16-year-old male pays around $5,834 per year, compared to $4,976 for a female – a difference of $858.

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 Vermont by gender.

AgeAverage annual premium for maleAverage annual premium for female
16$5,834$4,976
17$5,153$4,383

Minimum car insurance requirements for teens in Vermont

Like adults, teen drivers in Vermont must carry at least the state’s minimum liability coverage:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury
  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury
  • $10,000 for property damage

These minimums provide only basic protection, and medical care or repairs costs can quickly exceed them. That’s why many families choose higher coverage – especially when adding a teen driver.

Lenders will also require comprehensive and collision coverage if your car is financed or leased. These cover damage to your own vehicle after an accident, theft, or severe weather.

Ways to save on teen car insurance in Vermont

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.

Giving your teen a safe start on the road

Adding a teen driver to your policy will raise costs at first, but rates typically decline as they gain experience.

You can keep expenses under control by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and taking advantage of discounts. More importantly, the right coverage helps your teen build confidence and keeps your family financially protected as they start driving.
