Question: How does one go about obtaining car insurance for a 17 year old driver in Dallas, without paying an arm and a leg?

Comment: I think this is a super question to inquire about your teen driver. At 17 years of age this teenage driver can not legally enter a contract since they are not considered an adult. I would assume that most teenage drivers would be considered “safe” drivers they are still not old enough to sign the insurance contract.

I would also assume that most insurance companies would require a parent and or a legal gaurdian to sign the contract and to be financially responsible for the vehicle and the driver’s actions.

I would start off your investigation by making a few phone calls the local insurance carriers in your area and get their opinion on this question.

I really do not see why you could not get decent coverage for your teen driver, but a better question might be are you going to be able to afford this type of coverage?

You might also want to contact the Dallas car insurance bureau or DMV to ask them if there are any restrictions for obtaining Dallas auto insurance in your area or specific situation.

Cheapest Car Driver Insurance Rates

When people ask me what the easiest way is to get the cheapest car driver insurance for their muscle car, I can answer them with one simple word: your deductible. This is often the thing that people don’t want to deal with, and one of the biggest hassles when it comes to a car insurance claim, but it is simply the best and quickest and easiest way to get the cheapest driver car insurance.

So what do you do with your deductible? Raise it. I would say that the smallest that your deductible should be is around five hundred, but for the best results raise it to at least a thousand. The reason that having a higher deductible gets you the cheapest car driver insurance is because it makes it to where you have to pay the most at one time, after you make a claim for an at fault crash, instead of paying so much over time and possibly never getting into an at fault high performance car insurance accident.

Not sure that raising your deductible is for you? Think about a few factors, such as whether it’s more reasonable for you to pay your insurance over a certain amount of time or to pay a larger amount all at once. If it isn’t in your budget, then you might have to pass. However, you could simply choose the cheaper monthly premium and set aside the money that you might have been paying if your premium were higher for that chance of a deductible. If you do end up needing to pay a deductible, then you have that set aside–if you don’t, then you’ve started a nice little savings.
