An 18-year-old in Bethlehem is estimated at $4,531 a year for full coverage — roughly 128% above a 35-year-old on the same policy. Adding the teen to a parent's policy rather than buying a standalone one almost always costs less.

The three changes with the largest effect are raising your deductible from $500 to $1,000 (about 9% off the comprehensive and collision portion), bundling home or renters cover, and re-shopping at renewal — loyalty rarely earns a discount. Low-mileage and telematics programmes are worth checking if you drive under 7,500 miles a year.
