How much will it cost to add my 19-year-old daughter to my car insurance policy?
My teenage daughter just got her driver's license. We have an agreement that until she can pay for half of a new car, she's going to use mine. Of course I'm fine with this, and I'm proud of her, but I've also heard rumors that adding teenagers to car insurance policies can be outrageously expensive. So how much will it cost to add my daughter to my car insurance?

or good student discounts
