The Insurance Question

“Does he have good insurance?”

“Of course he has good insurance,” the boy’s mother replied. Perhaps 'boy' was not the correct term, but neither was ‘man.’ Being 18 left him in a nebulous circumstance between the two terms. He was old enough to join the military to defend the country and he could vote, but he could not indulge in alcohol. Knowing what she paid for his car insurance actually made her glad of this last fact. Teenage drivers were considered risky enough without the added liability of alcohol.

She felt fortunate that she had discovered Advantage Auto Quotes while perusing the Internet in hopes of finding information out about decreasing the cost for his auto insurance, as well as her own since she was entering her own tenuous years of seniorhood, when her own insurance rates would no doubt increase. This company offered several good ideas for keeping insurance rates down and mentioned that they occasionally worked with AARP for better senior deals. She had followed their advice and bought her son a pre-used vehicle rather than the new sporty car he would have preferred. She had checked the coverage for sports cars and even without having age infractions; it was more than she desired to pay, though she knew this company offered reasonable rates for such luxuries. Her generosity did have its limits, even with her own child.

Using the company’s tips for maintaining a decent driving record, and instilling these ideas within her son when she agreed to help him with his car insurance (call it a graduation gift), she had been lucky so far. She was able to get better car insurance rates. It had never occurred to her that she would have needed a company that included all sorts of auto insurance policies, but her she was, an older woman with a teenage son. Call if fortuitous or just good thinking, but she had found a resource to make this part of life a little easier.

And so she described this Internet find to her friend.
