Las Vegas Car Insurance Companies
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know if it is true that insurance rate is higher in the state of Nevada for drivers older than 60 years old? Which companies would be the best for me to get quotes from?
Cheska
Thank you for asking Cheska.
Some insurance companies charge higher rates for drivers who are over a certain age, such as 75 if state laws allow. The reason for this is that risk analysis and statistics show that reaction times, vision, etc is worse for elderly drivers. Since age is a factor for rating insurance rates that most states allow the age of the driver can cause rates to rise, some insurance providers will not insure any driver over 75.
Some insurance providers offer lower rates to those between 50 and 65 years of age. This group usually has lower accident rates. Typically, after age 65 rates begin rising again though and individuals over age 70 may have difficulty finding an insurance companies that will accept them since accidents for this age group tend to increase.
There are some car insurance companies that give driver discounts for drivers of a certain age with a good driving records or discounts to seniors who attend an approved driving course.
Goodluck!

Young Driver Insurance Las Vegas – Can I Use Out Of State Insurance?
Reader’s Question:
I just obtained my valid Massachusetts learners permit recently. My mother lives in Las Vegas Nevada and I am planning to visit her often. Can I drive using my MA learner’s Permit in Nevada? If so what are the restrictions for this?
Smith
Las Vegas, NV
Here are the driving restrictions for teens in the state of Nevada:
- Young drivers may not transport any person under the age of eighteen, except for immediate family members, for the first 6 months after the license was issued.
- Young Drivers under eighteen may not operate the vehicle between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. This applies to all motorists under the age of eighteen until they turn eighteen, regardless of when the license was issued.
- Nevada has a .02 blood alcohol limit for motorists under twenty one.
- Young driver licenses can be suspended for any of the same reasons as adult licenses and also for non-driving alcohol/drug offenses, habitual truancy or firearms violations.
So it seems like you can drive in the state of Nevada with your MA learner’s permit but with restrictions. I would suggest that you contact the Nevada DMV to find out for sure if all the restrictions and conditions you will have on you while in Nevada visiting your mother in Las Vegas Nevada.

The state of Nevada requires all registered motor vehicles to be covered with a minimum liability insurance coverage of
$15,000 for bodily injury or death of one person in any one accident
$30,000 for bodily injury or death of 2 or more persons on any one accident; and
$10,000 for damage or destruction of property of others in anyone accident is mandated.
This coverage must be reported by an insurance providers authorized to do business in the state of Nevada.
From this Department Of Insurance information it would seems that insurance providers in Nevada can rate on accidents for a period of 3 to 5 years. It will affect your insurance rates depending on your individual insurance company’s rating system and the type of accident you were in. You may be able to get more information regarding the rating system from your agent or from contacting the NV DOI since insurance carriers file their rates with this state agency.
