Insuring your kid doesn't have to break the bank

Who likes sticker shock? No one! We see this most often when our customers add their children to their auto insurance policy. Youthful drivers, or those ages 16-24, are very expensive to insure and you can probably guess why. Fifty percent of the time, they’re going to have an accident.

We specialize in helping insure youthful drivers. Not all carriers want to write this type of business, and the ones that don’t will hit you with sticker shock. Titan Insurance Services represents a few carriers, including Nationwide and Grange, that will insure your young drivers without making you take out a second mortgage on your house.

We can also help find additional discounts, including:

• A Good Student discount, for those youthful drivers with a 3.0 or higher grade point average
• A discount for a college student away at school without a vehicle.

With the 50 percent accident rate for youthfuls, we also recommend our customers add minor accident forgiveness on their policies, to help protect your premium from skyrocketing in the event of an accident.

We’re doing a special $100 thank you gift card to our customers who refer us new business with youthful drivers on the policy, so please help us spread the word to help these parents save some money and prevent sticker shock!
