How to find the best auto insurance companies for college students

Since the majority of college students are 25 or below the cost that auto insurance companies charge can be expensive. But we have found some carriers that we think can provide affordable auto insurance coverage for college students.

There are too many of these companies to name. Most of these companies are smaller regional carriers and you may not be familiar with their name brand but some are very quality companies who provide a great price for college students on their auto insurance. Just because a company doesn’t spend millions on advertising doesn’t mean they are any less quality than the big brand names.

Should college students purchase their own car insurance policy?

The answer to this question depends on many different factors, if you are going to price alone like we mentioned above its best to stay on your parents' policy as long as you can. But it really depends on where you will be living and who the title holder of the car is. If the car is titled in your name exclusively and you have moved out permanently it is wise to get your own insurance policy. It is important to note though that this will cost more money but will get you covered the proper way. And If you have ever been involved in an accident you know how important it is to have the proper coverage, it can be costly if you do not.

If you are a parent and want to keep you child on your policy and they are going to school out of state, we recommend you contact your insurance company and ask if the coverage will extend. This will vary between each company on how they handle it and will probably depend on whether or not that company writes business in the state your child is going to school in.
