That would depend on how likely your teenage driver is to get into an accident, how dependable they are. It may end up costing you more in the long run if they do happen to get into an accident.
A low deductible will mean higher premiu. Your premium will already undoubtably be high with a teenage driver on your policy so you may want to consider it.
If they have insurance then you should not have to pay a deductible at all.
The other driver should be paying if they were at fault; you may sue them for your deductible in small claims court if they had no insurance.
Hi! To lower your car insurance you should consider asking for a higher deductible. If you are a new driver (a teenager) you may be able to find teen car insurance discounts.
THE POLICY HOLDER, WHO IS USUALLY THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. If the truck driver is fully responsble for the accident, his insurance should pay for the damages to the car and there would be no deductible. If the car owner went through his coverage first to get repairs done, then the car owner is responsible for the deductible. Then the car owners insurance would go through subrugation to the truck drivers insurance to get full payment of the loss. When that is completed, the car owner would get his deductible returned to him.
He should be a rated driver in the house on something. If not,,,the insurance company could decide to cancel if the teenage driver was not rated, and had a negligent accident.
There is no deductible for liability claims.
If you hit the car (i.e., you're liable for the accident), the other driver shouldn't have a deductible - your liability insurance should pay the entire claim.
I would get an insurance quote from Allstate. I heard they give driver discounts for students with good grades.
If the other company only gave you the deductible amount, then probably not. But if both paid you the full amount, then you should turn the other company's check to yours. If the larger check came from the other driver's insurance, I'd return the check from your own insurance company - you're entitled to the deductible amount, if you're not at fault.
If the other driver was found "at fault", his insurnce company should pay the total repair including deductable
If your vehicle was parked you should not need to pay ANY deductible. If you were not found resonsible for the collision your expenses should be entirely paid by the at-fault driver. If necessary, you may need to take the other driver to small claims court.
