Prices for young driver OK

4.5 out of 5 stars
My parents put me on their insurance policy so that I could practice for my G2 while I had my G1. Not only was the insurance ridiculously pricey, but they tried to scam my parents into paying for my insurance after I switched companies. My parents called in to ask about the process for removing me from the insurance, and even asked if they needed to change ownership before or after. Then, they wrote on their first bill after their term was up that I was no longer on their policy and had my own. Now, two months later they are trying to charge my parents the cost of insuring me for 2months as primary driver on my vehicle. First, this is crazy as I own the vehicle now, and it is impossible for my parents to insure it since they do not own it. I do not live with my parents, I live 30 mins away. Also my parents informed them I was to be removed from the policy TWICE- in writing, and on the phone two months ago. Now they are demanding proof of my new insurance or they are going to charge my parents almost $600. I sent in a copy of the pink slip to my new insurance policy with the date and company and my name and vehicle description showing. I blocked off my address and policy number because I do not think that is their business. They told me that was sufficient, and it would be dealt with, then the next day called and said they needed my policy number. I asked why and what they were going to do with it and they said nothing. I asked to speak to a manager and 5 days later have not been able to talk to one. This company is a scam. Choose someone else for your car insurance! It is really expensive and the customer service is abominable!

I have been with Economical for 4 years, saw some rate decreases over those 4 years. We recently added my 17 year old son when he got his G2 and was expecting the worst as far as an increase in payments. I have heard how expensive new male drivers can be. I was pleasantly surprised when my payments only went up by $85 per month! This is affordable!
He is an occasional driver, I'm sure if he had his own car it would be much higher... not ready to go there yet!
No claims experience to comment on, and hoping it stays that way!
