Why Teen Insurance Costs More
Insurance companies consider drivers under 25 to be high-risk due to limited experience and statistically higher accident rates. In Texas, 16-19 year olds are involved in crashes at nearly three times the rate of drivers aged 20 and older. This risk translates directly to higher premiums.
However, the cost varies dramatically between insurers — which is why comparing quotes is essential when adding a teen to your policy. Some carriers specialize in families and offer much more competitive teen driver rates than others. A-LA compares 35+ of them side by side.

Choosing the Right Coverage
While minimum liability saves money upfront, consider the financial risk. If your teen causes an accident exceeding policy limits, you could be personally liable for the difference. Medical bills alone can easily surpass $100,000 in a serious crash.
