Is your child heading off to college? Their car insurance may need a quick review before move-in day.

If they’re bringing a car to campus, let your insurance agent know where it will be kept. The new location could affect the policy and premium.

Leaving the car at home? Keep your child listed if they’ll drive during school breaks. They may qualify for an away-at-school discount, especially if their college is more than 100 miles from home. Good-student and safe-driver discounts may also be available.

Connecticut requires continuous insurance on registered vehicles, so never cancel coverage without first speaking with your agent.

Call Jim Eagan Agency today. We’ll review your policy, check for available discounts and make sure your college student has the right coverage.

🚗 How much do insurance rates really go up when you add a teen driver?

In Connecticut, adding a newly licensed teen can nearly double a family’s auto insurance premium. Recent estimates put the average increase at approximately 96%, but every household is different.

The final cost depends on your teen’s age, the vehicle they drive, your location, driving history, coverage choices and available discounts. Good-student, driver-training and safe-driving discounts may help lower the increase.

Before your teen gets behind the wheel, call Jim Eagan Agency. We can compare multiple insurance carriers and help you find the right combination of coverage and price for your family.

Source: Insurance Information Institute, “Background on Teen Drivers,” which reports that adding a teenager can increase a parent’s premium by 50% to 100%:

That small fender bender might not be as "small" as it used to be.

Today's vehicles are packed with advanced technology designed to keep you safe. Even a minor accident can damage cameras, radar sensors, lane assist systems, parking sensors, and windshields that require specialized recalibration. What would have been a simple repair years ago can now cost thousands.

The good news? The right auto insurance can help protect you from those unexpected repair bills. If it's been a while since you've reviewed your coverage, we're happy to help make sure your policy still fits your needs.

Shopping for a car? The sticker price isn't the only number you should be looking at.

The vehicle you choose can have a big impact on your insurance premium. As a general rule, look for:
✅ Strong safety ratings
✅ Advanced safety features
✅ Affordable repair costs
✅ Reliable models with lower theft rates

One of the smartest things you can do? Get an insurance quote before you buy. Two vehicles that seem almost identical can have very different monthly premiums.

Have a few cars in mind? Give us a call. We'll compare your options and help you choose a vehicle that fits both your lifestyle and your budget.

This doesn't always mean your rate will go up because of the market alone, but it's one of many factors that can influence what you pay.

If you've noticed your premium change and aren't sure why, it may be a good time to review your policy and make sure you're getting the coverage you need at a competitive price.

Your teen may be ready for the road, but it's normal if you're not ready to trust the car, the new driver, or everyone else sharing the road.

The good news? The right insurance coverage is something you can count on. Having the right policy can give you peace of mind while your new driver gains experience behind the wheel.

Thinking about buying their first car? Give us a call before you shop. We can help you compare vehicles and explain which ones may qualify for lower insurance premiums, potentially saving you money from day one.

Summer is winding down, making it the perfect time to get your home ready for fall. Clean gutters, check heating systems, seal windows, and inspect smoke detectors before colder weather arrives. A little maintenance now can help prevent bigger issues later.
