Kid’s Cars • Best advice: • Title car to kid • Put on kid’s PAP • That way, parents can’t be sued • Saves everyone money
“The insurance went up HOW much?” “It’s party time!”
Kid’s Cars • No matter how you slice the banana, it’s going to cost you a ton to insure kids. • To quote a student: • “When my customers complain about the cost to insure kids I tell them they should have considered that in the heat of passion 16 years earlier.” Before we go any further, how will this affect our insurance in 16 years?
Kid’s Cars – The Cost • Pre-kid, two cars, high limits: • $750 • Kid turns 16: • $1,250 • Kid gets boring car: • $1,850
Situation • Parents: • Assets to protect • PAP with high limits and umbrella • Kid: • Excited to drive • Cool car • Low limits • Tragedy: Kid hits car, serious injuries
