Car insurance question - discount for drivers' ed class? How much?

[badmouse]

We're in NJ. My son is 16. He didn't take the classroom part of driver's ed in school. In order to take it, he needs to go to a special summer school class that's going to cost about $350, plus transportation, and the cost of not being able to work his part-time job while he's in the class.

The only reason he needs the class is to save money on his car insurance for a couple of years.

Will he save enough money on car insurance to make the class a worthwhile investment?

p.s. of course I'm in favor of driver's education, but this is a money question

There are too many factors for us to determine the outcome for you. Instead, why not just call your insurance company and ask? 3 minutes later you'd have your definitive answer.

For me, the discount basically offset the driver's ed cost. Financially it was a wash. But that was 13 years ago in a different state.

I did call the insurance co. and I'm waiting for a call back. Figured I'd see what the wisdom of ATOT had to say. So far you're a lot faster than the insurance co. :beer:
