What’s the best car insurance for 25-year-old drivers in Virginia?
At 25, young adults are beginning to build their finances, so they can afford more than liability car insurance. Liability insurance only covers injuries and damage you cause to others in an accident up to the policy’s limits. However, the minimum coverage required by the state is often insufficient because medical expenses can quickly add up if someone is seriously injured in a crash.
As young adults earn more disposable income, they should think about getting comprehensive and collision coverage, especially if they’re financing a vehicle (in which case, full coverage will be required by the lender). Choosing a higher deductible can lower your insurance rate, but remember that you’ll have to pay the deductible if you need to file a claim.
Ultimately, the best car insurance for 25-year-olds is the one that suits their individual needs. According to CarInsurance.com’s Best Insurance Companies survey, American Family is the top choice for young drivers and teens. When evaluating an insurance company, consider its National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) score, which ranks companies based on the number of customer complaints it receives, its J.D. Power auto claims satisfaction score and AM Best rating, which assesses financial strength.
Car insurance discounts for 25-year-olds in Virginia
Kevin Lynch, an assistant professor of insurance at The American College of Financial Services in Bryn Mawr, Penn., stresses that the three biggest favors any young adult can do for themselves in terms of getting the lowest insurance rates are to stay accident-free, maintain a clean driving record and a good credit score.
“They’re the essentials of getting affordable insurance,” he says. “After that, you can look at a variety of other things such as affiliated discounts, bundling insurance policies and perhaps an in-car monitoring device.”
Other car insurance discounts that might be available:
- Good driver/safe driver: Up to 30%
- Multi-policy discounts: Up to 13%
- Lower annual mileage/driving less: Up to 9%
- Usage-based discount programs/telematics: Up to 10%
- Paperless discount/autopay: Up to 4%
- Loyalty discount: Up to 11%
- Anti-theft devices: Up to 2%
In addition to discounts, consider the kind of car you choose. Practical, safe and reliable cars are cheaper to insure than sports or luxury vehicles.
