My name is Errol and I’m from Anaheim, CA. My dad has a Mustang (baby!) but he uses his hybrid to and from work. I am going to get my license three months from now, and I plan to use that mustang (baby!) every chance I get. Is my dad going to pay more if he adds me to his insurance policy? Can you help me get a lower rate quote or at least tell me where to go to get the cheapest insurance I can possibly get for this car…and my age.

Errol, Errol, Errol, according to statistics, and insurance companies believe in them with uncommon fierceness, teenagers are a reckless lot. They were the ones who coined the phrase “pedal to the metal,” and they are not known to be experienced drivers. Your dad will pay more because of these statistical data. He will pay more because the risk factor just got colorful. I assume that you are already driving the Mustang (Baby!) every once in a while but with a “chaperone.” When you get your license three months from now, the cost of insurance will increase even more (not to mention your dad’s blood pressure) because you will then be able to drive the mustang (baby!) by yourself most of the time. teenage drivers, premium will increase; teenager with a license, more increase. Again, this is about the colorful risk factor and statistics that I told you about. As disheartening as it sounds, the price will not be as high as getting your own policy.

All in all, your dad’s insurance will increase but it will not be as expensive as getting you your teen car insurance. Drive around Anaheim and enjoy your Mustang (baby!) but please don’t make your dad get a drunk driver insurance.
