Car Insurance

[jds2006]

How much does car insurance cost for a first-time teenage driver (17 years old)? My dad says that it'll cost him $1000 a month for the car I'm going to get, but I don't believe him. It can't possibly that much, could it?

Car?

 

[thechinesehero]

it can happen, im 20... if i want full coverage its over 10k a year for me

Depends on the car, where you live and were you will be driving too (school/work/etc).

 

[Sphexi]

Sucks to be you. I paid $850 a year when I turned 16. Currently I'm paying about $650 or so and I'm 24.

My cousin (17) pays $300 a month for car insurance on his jeep. He fell asleep at the wheel and broke his last car beyond repair tho.

Are you getting an Aston Martin V10 or something :Q

I know people that paid anywhere from $1000 to $5000 per year for insurance when they were 17-18.

What is an Aston Martin?

I'm getting my uncle's used 2002 BMW Z4 convertible. He sold it to me for only $15,000

Your uncle is obviously ripping you off

My uncle is ripping me off?

 

[thechinesehero]

a z3 is worth 15k too depending on miles.. for 15k if it is under 80k miles it should be aiight

j/k

 

[nageov3t]

just insurance?

it depends on variables like the car being insured, location, and the amount of coverage that you get.

at 23 with a clean record, I'm paying 1.5K / year for liability (the bare minimum you need to get on the road). my car is a pos, so I don't really care too much about it (ie: if it got stolen, I'd probably have a party to celebrate).

 

[surreal1221]

Roughly 2400 dollars for a year. When I get married in December, and add another person and another car, full coverage, my new premium will be around 1600 for a year. . . horsesh1t in my opinion. 20 yrs old, will be 21 when married, and I have not had any speeding violations, nor any traffic accidents on my record. Oh yeah, I'm a male, thats why! DUH!

 

[markgm]

About 800 a year when I was 16. When I first got my car it was 4 years old, and 4 years later I got a new Jeep. To insure just the Jeep was $5 less than to insure both! Since then I got an Accord and I think I'm around 1000-1400 a year for full coverage and all the other bells and whistles I got with it. The cow bell made it worth it. I miss not being able to pay it off once a year, it was so much cheaper than this every 6 months crap.

You're innocent until proven guilty here, with insurance.

16 year olds and 60 year olds pay the same rate, until they start getting tickets and smashing into things.

 

[mwtgg]

$1000/mo? That's BS.

Not with any company I've ever dealt with.

you aren't canadian either eh?

In my area (north Texas), a 16 year old with that car would likely pay ~$450/mo. for a male, or $175/mo for a female. (assuming no prior wrecks/tickets)
