How much is the extra cost to insure a second car?
How much does it cost to insure a second car? My husband and I are considering getting our son a car, but we don't know how much it will raise our insurance.

It’s nice you’re considering getting your son a car, but it’s always good to check prices first! The cost of insuring a second car will depend on a range of factors like your location and the type of car you add.
That said, adding a second car to your policy will typically be cheaper than separately insuring a second car. Some providers may even offer
multi-car discounts
up to 25%!But you’ll always see an increase in your premium when you add a new car. From the providers’ perspectives, you’re adding another risk for them to insure. Luckily, there are still ways you can save on insurance, like:
- Shopping around for cheaper plans.
- Asking your provider about discounts.
- Dropping excessive coverage.
- Buying more affordable vehicles.
