As parents, we are always telling our children to grow up and learn to take responsibility. Then when it comes time for them to get their drivers license, we find ourselves wishing that it was 8 o'clock at night and we were tucking them into bed after they said their prayers. We often talk about the turmoil and turbulence that teens going through but the same stands true for the parents. We are excited for them, and proud of them, when they successfully obtain their drivers license. Then that is when reality really sets in. The cost of the Insurance is mind boggling for the average family income. Fortunately, there are now some Insurance Companies that are being dubbed as "teen friendly". Well what does this really mean?

Here is where us at the parents need to stop. Our son or daughter has reached the age to drive and has obtained their drivers license right? We are now considering them as being on the way to maturity. Then why in the world, are we doing all of the work of researching Insurance options for them? Perhaps if we allow them, or even insist that they do this themselves, it will be an eye opener for them. You really cannot expect them to take something seriously if they do not know all the details. So perhaps it would be worthwhile to get them on the right track, to getting the information they need. Point them towards the Internet and let them do the Insurance Shopping.

It may be a good idea to draw up some type of outline as to what they should look for and how to do a comparison. Another important factor to keep in mind is, how thorough their research is will depend on whose footing the bill for the monthly Insurance payments. If its you, then you want to ensure that they do not stop at the first quote they get. Look for innovative ways that the cost is either going to come back on them directly or indirectly.

By having your young driver go through this exercise, it will certainly create awareness of why they are having such a tough time getting affordable rates to begin with. It will give them incentives to abide by the guidelines and rules that the Insurance Companies have to offer; especially of they are paying for the Insurance themselves.

Often by giving them the responsibility of doing their own Insurance Shopping, makes them feel like they are being treated as an adult, and they may want to live up to this trust by acting responsibly when behind the wheel of the car.

There is one more bonus to this exercise as well. Regarding that new vehicle they have been itching to buy, and don't understand besides the cost why they shouldn't have it? There Insurance research it going to paint a very clear picture for them, as to the differences in rates according to the value of the vehicle.
