Matchett & Ward Insurance

Do you have a new driver joining the family in 2026?

It is generally cheaper to add your teenagers to your auto insurance policy than for them to purchase their own. If they are going to be driving their own car, consider insuring it with your company so you can get a multi-car discount. Remember to choose the car carefully, as the type of car a young person drives can dramatically impact the price of insurance.

You and your teens should choose a car that is easy to drive and would offer protection in the event of a crash.

Also, encourage your kids to get good grades and to take a driver training course. Most companies will give discounts for getting at least a “B” average in school and for taking recognized driving courses.
If your teenagers move at least 100 miles from home, to college for example, you may be able to get a discount for the time they are not around to drive the car (assuming they leave the car at home).

Call our team at Matchett & Ward for your questions about your teen drivers.

Happy First Day of Winter, friends!
