Good Student Discount Auto Insurance in Ohio
Reader’s Question:
We promised our teen daughter that she can borrow our car every now and then if she’ll get an average of B or higher. She got an A which pleases us immensely. But now am starting to get worried. I’m not sure I’m ready to let her be out on the wild road, and also, our insurance premiums will surely be higher once we add her to our auto insurance. How do I get out of this? Is there a discount for having good grades?
