The surest way to get a cheap car insurance quote in Las Vegas is to just buy the minimum coverage mandated by your state law. Since you are from Nevada, the required coverage is 15/30/10 which means $15,000 of bodily injury liability for 1 person, $30,000 bodily injury liability for all people and $10,000 property damage liability.
Aside from that, there are a lot of ways to get cheap car insurance quote.
Age can affect your insurance quote. The age range of 25 to 69 years old gets the average to very low insurance rate. So if you are still a teenager, you might want to wait before you get a car.
Gender also has a say on your insurance quote. Girls are most likely to get car insurance premium as they are generally safe drivers compared to boys. So you are lucky if you are a girl as boys need to prove that they are reliable safe drivers. If you are a boy, then you might like to get a defensive driving class as you can get discounts for this.
Age and gender are something you have not much control. But do not worry, there are still other ways to get cheap car insurance quote.
- Get a modest and a bit old car as these types are generally quoted low insurance premium. Because for one, they are of average price as such they are cheaper to replace and repair. They are also not prone to being stolen.
- Have safety devices installed to your car like: airbag, anti-lock brakes, car alarm and others. Car insurance will give discounts if your car is packed with safety devices.
- If you can afford to pay one time your annual car insurance payment, then do so. This payment mode can give you savings.
- Plan your day-to-day route in a way that can give you a very low mileage. Low mileage is advantage when getting car insurance.
Most of all, drive safely. Aside from having a good driving record and no-claims insurance record, which can help in lowering your insurance premium, car accidents is just something not worth getting into even if you have a good car insurance coverage.
18 Year Old Las Vegas Teen Car Insurance Rates
Reader’s Question:
Hello. I am 18 years old and just obtained my G2 in Las Vegas. I was wondering if I can drive my friend’s car or my parent’s car that is insured without me being insured in?

With your G2 most insurance providers in Las Vegas will require you to be listed to your parent’s insurance policy since you are part of their household and now have more driving responsibilities with fewer restrictions while operating your parent’s cars.
If your parents do not notify the insurance provider in Las Vegas of your G2 licensing status then it is likely that you will not be properly covered if you were to get involved in an accident in your parent’s car. As for driving a friend’s car, the owner of the vehicle is typically responsible for anyone who operates their vehicle with permission so your friend will need to check with their insurance company to verify if you would be covered to drive their vehicle.
Your friend will need to keep in mind that if you are covered by their insurance company and you have an at-fault accident while driving their vehicle, it will go on their insurance record and your friend will get his/her insurance premium affected. Insurance does not follow the motorist; it goes with the vehicle.
