Insurance Cost For 17 Year Old
At that time, my family and I were living in Orleans, Ontario in Canada not far from Ottawa, the nation’s Capital. The legal driving age was 16 years old back then. Insurance cost for 17 year old or 16 year old like I was at the time was very expensive back then in Ontario, Canada. Now days with the inflation and cost of living, it is almost impossible for a 16 or 17 year old teenager young driver to afford auto insurance on his own.
A lot of parents are very nervous about registering their children on their own auto insurance policy at 16 or 17 for very good reasons.

Car Insurance No Claims Bonus
The easiest way to cut your car insurance premiums is to reduce the insurer’s risk and accept a higher voluntary excess. An insurer’s standard excess may be £100 but if you meet the first £250 of any claim, you’ll see a reduction in your premium. This is because you’re taking on more of the risk so you get a discount. But it’s a gamble, be aware that you might have to meet the cost of a broken window after an attempted theft, then a bill for repairing bodywork damage after a car park crunch.
Put simply, if you have had Car Insurance for 4 years and you have not made a claim in that time, then you have 4 years No Claims Bonus. No Claim Bonus is probably the single biggest factor affecting the cost of your Car Insurance premium. Every year that goes by without you making a claim is another year of No Claims Bonus.
Generally speaking, the more No Claims Bonus years you have, the cheaper your premium will be for the car you need to
