i need auto insurance any suggestions which company truly saves you money ?

As the student drivers parent, is my current auto insurance coverage in effect and still valid (for me and my 16 yr old) when my 16 year old student driver is driving my vehicle (supervised driving\practice), even though I have not added them as a driver on my auto insurance policy. We live in Illinois. After the student driver receives their official drivers license am I required to add them as a driver to my auto ins policy, or am I and this new driver still covered by my policy because I have given them permission to operate my vehicle?

Cheap Car Insurance For Young Drivers – Six Ways to Save

If you are a teen-age driver or if you are a parent trying to help your child find  good auto insurance, then you know how  expensive it can be. Inexperienced, young drivers are statistically more likely to be  involved in a collision.  Young male drivers are seen as a very high risk.  Consequently, the auto insurance carrier will require  higher insurance premiums. If you are searching for ways to stretch your  household budget, knowing how to find the lowest auto insurance premiums will certainly help.

Add the Young Driver to an Existing Policy

Nearly every insurance company offers discounted rates for particular portions of  the policy. You need to know what to ask. The amount of the discount, and the exact types of discounts, will vary  from one company to the next, which is why it is a good idea to get multiple  quotes.  If a young  driver is on the same insurance policy with parents who have  a clean driving record and already low rates, this will be less costly than a young driver  getting his or her own policy.

Excellent Grades May Equal Low Insurance Rates

If you are a student who maintains a ‘B’ grade point average or better, most  insurance companies will offer discounts on your car insurance. The logic here is  simple and statistics prove the validity: young people who earn and maintain  good grades tend to be more responsible and mature. Translation? Responsible and mature young people are usually not risk-takers when they get behind the wheel. Less risk means lower insurance rates.

Complete Driver Education Classes

You can expect to get lower rates with most companies for taking a certified  driver education course.  Be sure to indicate that you have done this and make  sure that you can provide a certificate proving completion of the classses.

Occasional Driver

Auto insurance companies will also offer lower rates to people who do not drive  very often. The details will be different from one to the next, but be sure to  investigate.  Occasional drivers inherently carry less risk to the insurer.

Always Get Multiple Quotes

Never underestimate the importance of getting multiple quotes. Comparison  shopping will reveal the best auto insurance rates for your unique situation. Since  each individual insurance carrier uses slightly different criteria, the resulting  premiums will vary, based on the driver and the individual circumstances.  (So  even if your friend has a great low cost auto insurance plan, that same company  will not necessarily offer the same low rate to you.)

Get Online Quotes to Save Time

It is a relatively straightforward  process to obtain multiple auto insurance quotes online. Set  aside ten minutes of your time to enter information about your specific needs and  situation.  Whether you are a young driver, or looking to reduce the costs of  insuring a student driver, you may be pleasantly surprised by the savings.

"The California Low Cost
Automobile Insurance Program (LCA):
The California Low Cost Automobile Insurance Pilot
Program, created in 1999, established a low-cost
automobile insurance policy for residents of Los Angeles
County and the City and County of San Francisco.
California Law requires that all drivers be insured.
However, too many low-income drivers remain uninsured
