Car Insurance Cost Clearwater, Florida FL
Reader’s Question:
I’m thinking of bargaining with my Dad – I’d pay for the auto liability insurance while he pays for the car. How much will the car insurance cost here in Clearwater, Florida, do you think?

Hi there, Rachel. I assume you’re going to be a first-time car owner and a teenage driver as well? Let me be frank with you, Rachel. In general, statistics dictate that first time car drivers and teenage car drivers are much more likely to file an auto insurance claim than the average American. I suppose this applies to Clearwater, Fl as well. Since you are both, (therefore, clearly a high risk case) insurers in Clearwater, FL are also likely to require higher premiums from you at the beginning. Don’t despair, though. Insurers usually consider giving lower premiums after about 3 years, provided you maintain a good driving record and keep to one insurance company during that time.
In the meantime, here’s what you can do: (a) shop around for cheap rates and discounts from reliable insurers in Clearwater, FL; (b) opt for higher deductibles, although you would want to balance that with how much you can afford to pay for yourself in case something happens before you would need to draw on the auto insurance policy; and (c) select the right car. Yup, your car choice directly affects your insurance premiums! See, even if your dad agrees to buy a Ferrari, can you afford the auto insurance costs?
The best way to find out how much you need to prepare is to request for free online auto insurance quotes. In fact, you can type your zip code on the forms on this page and get precisely that. Get a couple, even five since they’re free anyway, and find out whether the bargain you intend to offer your dad would be a good bargain for you, too.
