    That lower price comes at age 25. There's no savings to be had anytime sooner, just high cost right now. This year or next year, won't lower her rates any sooner than age 25.

    House AC

They based the rate on my wife's 2021 Explorer, which my daughter wouldn't drive alone. My other vehicles are a 2105 F250 and a...
