Get Car Insurance Coverage in Alabama

Before you get behind the wheel, be sure you are covered under a current Alabama auto insurance policy. Depending on your age, you have two options in AL.
Option 1: Get Covered Under A Parent's AL Auto Insurance Policy
Teen drivers who are younger than 18 must be covered under a parent or guardian's auto insurance policy. You won't be able to buy one of your own until you turn 18. When consulting with their auto insurance company, your parents might find that adding you to the policy greatly increases their car insurance rates. If that's the case, have your parents consider shopping around online to compare auto insurance rates and find a plan that best suits your family's needs and budget.
Even though you can't purchase a policy yourself, you can get the ball rolling by filling out the web form below. We'll drop your parents an e-mail with more on getting the best deal on auto insurance so you can legally start practicing behind the wheel!
Option 2: Buy Your Own Alabama Auto Insurance Policy
For those drivers who are 18 and older, you can purchase a Alabama car insurance policy of your own. First, start by gathering auto insurance quotes online. Young drivers often pay a lot when they first start driving, so be prepared to compare the insurance rates of multiple car insurance companies. While gathering auto insurance quotes, ask about:
- Good student discounts
- Multiple policy discounts
- Safety equipment discounts
- Antitheft equipment discounts
