At what age did you start paying for your own car insurance as opposed to your parents

15, when I started driving.

They paid it as soon as they started driving. HS. I helped purchase the vehicles, but they paid insurance. I think the oldest paid car note and her insurance. She made bank at her serving job. I helped as needed once they hit college. But I expected them to pitch in. As they moved onto other cars, they had to apply for their own loans and insurance. Post-college.

Age 12 when I became a man.

These damn millennials and zoomers these days just keep suckling at the parental teat until they’re geriatric themselves.

At 16, a couple months after my dad passed away. I had to get a job to take some of the pressure off of my mom. I started paying my portion of the car insurance, cell phone and spending money. I did my best not to ask for anything. It wasn’t expensive for minimum coverage of my old Hyundai Elantra.

16 when you are supposed to.

16 when i got my car - my dad believed in the idea of earning and paying for it myself - i even bought my own car

When I had my own car and no longer drove theirs.

What's this nonsense about parents paying for it?

If I wanted to drive, I had to scrape up the cash. Should hold true for all teen drivers-- help them appreciate what they're being allowed to do, and the attenuating responsibilities.
