The Best Cheap Car Insurance for New Drivers

Q: How much is insurance for a first-time driver?

Minimum-coverage insurance costs $1,582 per year for first-time drivers, on average, while a full-coverage policy costs $3,867 per year. Young drivers may be able to save money by sharing a policy with parents or older family members.

Q: What is the best insurance for first-time drivers?

We recommend full-coverage insurance for new drivers. Full-coverage insurance includes comprehensive and collision coverage, which pays for damage to your vehicle, regardless of fault — a feature that could be worth paying extra for, since first-time drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident. State Farm offers the best full-coverage insurance rates for most new drivers.

Q: How much does car insurance drop when you turn 25?

A 25-year-old driver can expect an 11% decrease in car insurance costs, on average. However, rates decrease more between 20 and 21 years old (17%) and 18 and 19 (16%).

Auto insurance companies consider a number of factors to determine rates, including driving experience. First-time drivers pay higher premiums because they're more likely to be involved in an accident. For insurance purposes, newly licensed teens, immigrants and foreign nationals, older drivers who have never had a license or those with a gap in driving or insurance coverage are all considered to be new drivers.

Minimum-liability policies are usually the cheapest form of insurance because they provide the lowest level of coverage you can legally carry in your state. Affordable rates might make minimum-coverage auto insurance seem like the best option, but if you're involved in an accident, you could end up paying more out of pocket in the long run.

For this reason, we recommend purchasing a full-coverage auto insurance policy rather than a minimum-coverage policy.

Best car insurance for new drivers on a family policy

How long can you stay on your parents insurance?

There is no age limit for sharing a car insurance policy with your parents, so as long as you live in the same house, you can share a policy. Once you move out, you will need to get your own policy, unless you're still considered their dependent (for example: college students).

Young first-time drivers can get significantly better rates by sharing a policy with their parents or an older relative.

Rates from Allstate, Geico and State Farm are all cheaper than average. Geico charges the least to add another car and driver to an existing policy — $1,419 per year, on average.

Although State Farm charges more to add another car and driver, its overall rates are better than its competitors. On average, a full-coverage policy with three vehicles and drivers from State Farm costs $2,201 per year — $813 cheaper than average.

Graph showing the cost of adding a first-time driver to an existing auto insurance policy

Company	Parents only	With 16-year-old	With 18-year-old	With 21-year-old
State Farm	$1,038	$3,139	$2,644	$1,982
Allstate	$1,520	$3,478	$3,478	$2,281
Geico	$1,641	$3,243	$3,092	$2,843
Nationwide	$1,925	$4,439	$4,392	$3,289
Farmers	$2,392	$5,020	$4,761	$5,527
USAA*	$1,089	$3,427	$3,180	$2,502

Rates were calculated based on a first-time driver and two parents sharing a full-coverage policy with coverage for three vehicles.

Adding an additional car and driver onto an existing full-coverage policy costs three to five times less than purchasing a stand-alone policy.

Best insurance company for new drivers

It's important for first-time drivers to compare auto insurance quotes to find the lowest price, but choosing an insurance company with a great reputation is equally as important.

State Farm is our choice for best car insurance company for new drivers due to its superior rating from our editors, high financial stability marks from AM Best and top J.D. Power customer satisfaction score.

Company	JD Power	AM Best
State Farm	859	A++
Geico	843	A++
Nationwide	831	A+
Farmers	818	A
Allstate	838	A+
USAA	890	A++

Our editor's rating is determined by analyzing each company's rates in relation to its competitors, the policy coverages it offers and its customer satisfaction scores.

J.D. Power's Auto Claims Satisfaction Study is an annual nationwide survey that polls insurance customers about their experience filing claims with their insurer. Higher scores are better, and the best possible rating is 1,000.

AM Best's Financial Strength Rating is a letter grade that describes the overall financial health of an insurance company and its ability to pay out claims. The best score available is "A++". All of the companies we included have a Financial Strength Rating from AM Best of "A" or better, meaning they have an "excellent" or "superior" ability to pay out claims, even in difficult economic times.

How much is insurance for a new driver?

Who is considered a new driver?

Newly licensed teens
Older drivers who have never had a license
People with a gap in driving or insurance coverage
Immigrants and foreign nationals

On average, new drivers can expect to pay $1,582 per year for minimum-coverage and $3,867 per year for full-coverage insurance. However, car insurance rates vary greatly depending on your age, where you live and other factors such as your credit score.

How does experience affect car insurance rates?

Auto insurance companies consider a broad range of factors to determine rates, including driving experience. People with little to no driving history tend to be significantly riskier to insure, so they'll have to pay higher premiums during the first few years of their driving careers. However, as you spend more time behind the wheel, you'll see your insurance rates begin to fall.

Years licensed	Average annual premium	Percentage increase
0	$1,105	43%
1	$884	15%
2	$855	11%
3	$832	8%
4	$827	7%
5	$772	0%

Percentage increase shows the difference in premium from a driver with five years of experience, which is when experience no longer affects rates, on average.

In Texas, a 30-year-old man with no driving experience can expect to pay $1,105 per year for a minimum-coverage policy. After one year of driving, his rates go down by $131. After having his license for five years, his rates are $333 cheaper.

Insurance companies only consider driving experience within the U.S., so immigrants and foreign nationals pay higher premiums as well, even with foreign driving experience.

How does age affect car insurance rates?

One of the biggest factors that raises new-driver rates is age. Teens, who tend to have a higher risk tolerance, cause more accidents on average than middle-aged drivers. However, some people do begin driving later in life. If you're a new-but-not-young driver, you'll still pay higher rates than other drivers your age. However, you'll see less of an increase than your younger counterparts.

Graph showing auto insurance rates for new drivers by age

Age	Minimum coverage	Full coverage
16	$3,097	$7,229
17	$3,021	$7,079
18	$3,107	$7,450
21	$1,747	$4,351
25	$1,198	$2,984

Show All Rows

In Texas, a 16-year-old driver pays more than twice what a 25-year-old new driver pays for a full-coverage policy, despite the fact that they have the same level of driving experience. Rates decrease even more for first-time drivers in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

How to save on car insurance as a new driver

Regardless of age, you will have to pay more for insurance if you lack driving experience. However, there are a few steps you can take to lower your monthly bill.

Compare quotes from multiple insurance companies.
Join a family policy.
Consider the car you drive — low- to mid-priced vehicles with a good safety rating usually result in better rates than expensive, high-tech cars.
Choose a higher deductible.
Pay your premium up front.
Bundle your auto and renters insurance policies.

Frequently asked questions

How much is insurance for a first-time driver?

Minimum-coverage insurance costs $1,582 per year for first-time drivers, on average, while a full-coverage policy costs $3,867 per year. Young drivers may be able to save money by sharing a policy with parents or older family members.

What is the best insurance for first-time drivers?

We recommend full-coverage insurance for new drivers. Full-coverage insurance includes comprehensive and collision coverage, which pays for damage to your vehicle, regardless of fault — a feature that could be worth paying extra for, since first-time drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident. State Farm offers the best full-coverage insurance rates for most new drivers.

Does a new driver need insurance?

Every state requires you to have auto insurance or proof of financial responsibility in order to drive legally. Typically, you're required to purchase liability insurance, which pays for injuries and damage you cause to others and their property. In addition, you'll need to decide if you want to purchase additional coverage, such as collision and comprehensive insurance.

What do you need to get car insurance?

To purchase car insurance as a new driver, you will need to provide your personal information (full name, age, address and license number), vehicle information (make, model, VIN number, date of purchase and mileage) and your payment information (usually bank account or credit card).

How much does car insurance cost for a 16-year-old?

A full coverage policy for a 16-year-old girl costs $813 per month, and a 16-year-old boy can expect to pay $876 per month. However, insurance costs range from $313 per month to $1,141 per month, which is why it's important to compare quotes from multiple insurers in your area.

How much does car insurance drop when you turn 25?

A 25-year-old driver can expect an 11% decrease in car insurance costs, on average. However, rates decrease more between 20 and 21 years old (17%) and 18 and 19 (16%).

Methodology

We collected thousands of quotes from ZIP codes across Texas for the largest insurers in the state to determine the best rates for new drivers.

For our minimum-coverage rates, we quoted a policy with the minimum required limits in Texas. Minimum- and full-coverage limits are shown below:

Coverage	Minimum-coverage limit	Full-coverage limit
Bodily injury liability	$30,000 per person/$60,000 per accident	$50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident
Property damage liability	$25,000 per accident	$25,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist bodily injury liability	-	$50,000 per person/$100,000 per accident
Comprehensive deductible	-	$500
Collision deductible	-	$500

The driver for the study was a 30-year-old man with average credit driving a 2015 Honda Civic EX. Characteristics were changed to reflect age and driving experience.

For difference in rates after adding a first-time driver to a family policy, quotes are based on a 16-year-old male sharing a policy with a married couple who are both 50 years old.
