Juvenile drivers find it hard to find the cheapest car insurance 
for them. Statistically, juvenile drivers are more likely to get involved into car accidents than older drivers do. Therefore, insurance premiums cost bigger for them. That is why adolescent drivers need to consider certain details before purchasing car insurance in order to find the cheapest car insurance rates for young drivers.
Car insurance premiums in Atlanta GA are calculated depending upon the probability of a driver to be involved in car accidents and the cost it will pay if it happens. Unfortunately, young drivers are statistically probable to get involved in car accidents compared to drivers over the age of 25. Aside from that, young drivers will have to pay more for their car insurance as they haven’t had a chance to accumulate a “no claims” bonus. But don’t frown too much. Here are some tips in order to get the cheapest car insurance rates for young drivers.
1. Get good grades. Most often than not, getting aces academically is very much taken for granted, not knowing that this can be a key to a lower car insurance premium. Insurance companies equate students who are remarkable in class or students who get good grades as responsible drivers. Students should either get a B-grade or is a part of the Dean’s Honor Roll List.
2. Keep a good driving record. Responsibility is not only viewed inside class, but also on the road. You must keep a good driving record such as avoiding accidents, obeying traffic rules and avoiding getting tickets.
3. Choice of vehicle. As swooning as it sounds, driving a sports car can make you a definite head turner and can impress a lot of people, but it will kill your wallet. A vehicle, such as a sports car, is too expensive for someone who is still at school and dependent to his/her parents’ allowance. Therefore, before purchasing a vehicle, consider its insurance rates first. Because if not, you can never attain the cheapest car insurance rates for young drivers.
4. Consider not having a car. Getting a car is not a basic need for a juvenile. You can tag along with your friends and carpool with them in order to save you time in going to school.

Agatha, if your son is a first time driver, this may spell trouble for your finances because teenage automotive insurance do not come in low prices. This is because teenage drivers are considered high-risk drivers by automotive insurance companies due to the high number of accidents involving teenage drivers.
However, there are steps you can take in order to turn your expensive teen automotive insurance to a cheaper one. So, what are these steps?
Include your son in an existing automotive insurance. This is going to make you eligible to avail of discounts. Discounts are available for multiple drivers, multiple vehicles and multiple policies in an insurance company. You may want to take advantage of this.
Also, since your son is a high school student, you should make sure that he gets good grades in school. You might be puzzled by the connection of this to your teen’s automotive insurance premium. The logic behind here is that automotive insurance companies would view your son as a responsible kid who is thus capable of being responsible as well on the road. Responsible drivers are highly unlikely to get themselves into road accidents.
Another way of doing this is by having your kid enroll in a driving course, basic driving course or defensive driving course. There should be accredited establishments there in your area in California that offer this kind of courses.
If you follow these tips, paying for your teen’s automotive insurance should not be much of a worry. But in any case, the coverage of your teen’s automotive insurance still depends on what you are going to specify to the insurers.

Cheap Teen Car Insurance Atlanta Georgia
Reader’s Question:
My teenage daughter is 18 years old and still resides with me in Atlanta, my question is :can she drive your car without being listed on your auto insurance? A friend for example borrows your vehicle and gets into an accident, was it legal for them to drive your vehicle because you gave them permission? Therefore will your insurance provider cover costs incurred minus your deductible?
Michelle
Atlanta, GA
Most insurance companies in Atlanta require you to list all of your household residents. With those who are licensed (or of driving age), your insurance company will give you the choice of listing them as ‘eligible’ to drive or ‘excluded’ from driving. If they are listed as ‘eligible,’ they will be rated against your policy’s premiums. If they are ‘excluded,’ they will not be rated against your policy’s premiums; however, you are accepting full responsibility if you let them drive – even once and no matter the circumstance. Now, the example you provided is an entirely different issue. Also household residents, your insurance provider wants to know who will be driving your car with any frequency or regularity. If someone is going to be driving your car with any regularity or frequency, that individual will need to be listed as an ‘eligible’ driver on your car insurance policy. The insurance carrier will cover someone who does not reside with you and you let that individual drive it for a ‘one-time’ thing.

Reader’s Question:
I know that you should add someone in you insurance policy if they use your car more than regularly. But what are the consequences of them being involve in an accident and not having them listed on your policy? I have a friend that borrows my car, and we are living in the same household but if I add him to my insurance policy, my insurance rate goes up a lot and its so unreasonable! We live in Atlanta GA and I would like to know what will happen if he damages my car and he is not added to my policy?
Mike
Atlanta, GA
Generally, the consequences of not adding a household member to your insurance policy when it is required by your insurance company is that if he get involve in an accident while using your car they would deny claims since he was not a motorist on policy and therefore you were not paying premiums for him to covered to drive your car. We have heard of some insurance companies that will cover a household member that was not listed on the insurance policy.
Most insurance companies and state laws require you to add all licensed household members on your policy and either add them as motorists or exclude them. It does not appear that in Atlanta GA you could totally exclude your roommate from your policy, only from collision and comprehensive coverages.
Georgia law states that car insurance fraud happens when people knowingly misrepresent pertinent facts to an insurer or agent to get a policy or collect money to which they are not entitled. Removing a licensed household member from your insurance policy is a misrepresentation of facts and is considered soft fraud. Any form of car insurance fraud is a serious crime in Atlanta GA that can lead to possible jail time and heavy fines.
