Minnesota teen SR22

Q: Why are rates for Minnesota teen SR22 policies so high?

A: Car insurance companies have to construct a way of rating policies so that those who will never have to file a claim are not punished for the actions of those who have to file claims very often. In order to do this, they rate policies based on risk. Policy holders who pose more risk to taking money out of the insurance pool with claims will pay in more, while those who are less likely to do so pay in less, so that everybody gets what they paid for.

A Minnesota teen SR22 premium is going to be high for his very reason, because teens and SR22s are two of the highest risk groups out there, and combining the two is even worse. SR22s are commonly required of conviced drunk drivers, which is the main reason for that stigma, and also because the additional service of filing he SR22 form is required. As for teens, they get into a number of accidents disproportionate to the number of teen drivers on the road, and accidents involving them are more likely to be serious or fatal.

In order to help avoid some of these problems, many car insurance companies have come up with monitoring programs to help parents watch how their teenager drives.
