    Teen driver car insurance rates in Maine for some specific vehicles include:

    There are a number of ways parents can save money when insuring a teen driver. The average rates shown in the list above are for 2023 models, which in most cases will cost the most to insure.

    Older vehicles are great for teen drivers, since they have already experienced some depreciation and car insurance rates will generally be lower.

    If the vehicle is old enough that it no longer makes sense to insure it for full physical damage coverage, then insuring a teen driver with liability-only insurance is an excellent way to reduce the annual cost.

    Encourage your teen to take driver’s education or another qualifying driver training course which will earn a small discount. If your teen is a good student, that may be another discount that can be applied to your policy to save a little money.
