Getting Car Insurance for Teenagers
Reader’s Question:
My mom is giving me her old car on my next birthday. She said she’ll help me get auto insurance because I’m still young. How can we do this?

Well, you know your mom best, Nicole, so you can interpret her better than I can. But just basing from what you’re telling me, and based from what I know about moms, you may be correct. She probably wants you to be responsible for your actions and so she wants you to really work hard for this car. It has been proven time and again that we love the things we worked hard for and this is probably your mom’s game.
But don’t panic, Nicole, because it is not that hard to get auto insurance in Yakima Washington WA. Go to your mom and ask her what type of insurance she had in the past, and from which insurer in Yakima Washington WA, and if she was satisfied with it. With this information, go online and take the short survey you’ll see on this page where you enter your zip code, answer a few questions and get free quotes in return. You’ll will get a ballpark figure of how much you need to save up.
Armed with this target amount, you can try getting odd jobs like mowing the lawn or cooking meals or walking your neighbors’ dogs. There is a multitude of jobs that you can do, or even act as your mom’s secretary or errand girl for sometime. You can offer her massage or offer to prepare breakfast in bed for her for a fee. You just have to use your imagination, Nicole, and you will earn that required money, believe me.
