Frequently asked questions

How much is car insurance for a 16-year-old in Kansas?
An estimated $5,413 a year for full coverage — about $451 a month — and $1,532 a year for state-minimum liability. That is 170% above what a 35-year-old pays in Kansas.
Is it cheaper to add a 16-year-old to a parent's policy?
Almost always, yes. Adding a young driver to an existing family policy typically costs far less than a standalone policy, because the household keeps its multi-car and multi-policy discounts and the parent's claims history anchors the rating.
Which insurer is cheapest for a 16-year-old in Kansas?
On our modelled comparison, Geico and State Farm price lowest for this age band in Kansas, with USAA lower still for military families. Because young-driver rating varies enormously between carriers, quoting three or four is worth considerably more at this age than at any other.
What discounts apply at 16?
Good-student discounts (usually a B average or better), driver-training course credits, distant-student discounts if the car stays at home, and telematics programmes that reward smooth driving. Stacked, these routinely take 15–25% off a young driver's premium.
