I am often asked by parents, “What is a good first car for my new teen driver?” I’m assuming parents ask me this question because I help many families with young drivers insure their first car and somehow that experience has given me great insight into what a good first car for a teen would be. Unfortunately, this experience only allows me the expertise of knowing which vehicles are more cost effective to insure for young drivers.

The day your teenager gets their driver’s license is as expensive and fearful a day for you as it is a glorious day for them! Let me tell you, your fears are warranted.
