Since teenagers that are newly licensed have such high rates of accidents that is why they cost more to insure than an experienced motorist who is more prone to avoid an accident than cause it.
The costs of adding a teenager in Chicago IL will depend upon your your geographical location, your current car insurance rates and your teen to name a few. For example if you reside in a congested area where your teen is more likely to be involved in an accident compared to a more suburban or rural area the insurance rate to insure your teenager will likely be higher.
Basically if you add a young driver in Chicago IL, it may cost $1200 to even $2500 a year. A 16 year old, on the average, can expect to pay 2.52 times the base rate for their car insurance. So if you as a parent of a teenager now pay $500 for a year of auto insurance, then adding a 16 year old newly licensed teen driver onto your policy could raise your insurance rates to (again on average) $1260 for a year of auto insurance.
