Insurance, in law and economics, is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for a premium, and can be thought of as a guaranteed small loss to prevent a large, possibly devastating loss. An insurer is a company selling the insurance; an insured or policyholder is the person or entity buying the insurance. The insurance rate is a factor used to determine the amount to be charged for a certain amount of insurance coverage, called the premium. Risk management, the practice of appraising and controlling risk, has evolved as a discrete field of study and practice.

What auto insurance company has cheap rates for adding a 16 year old first-time driver to an insurance plan?
Q. We live in Florida, and my son has just turned 16, He wants to get his licenses but we don't want our insurance to go up too much. From what I hear it is very expensive, yet i hear other people saying that some auto insurance company's have very cheap rates for adding a first time driver. So if there are any other parents that know of a company that they use that is pretty cheap please let me know. Thank you. Yes we are planing on "adding" him to our plan.
