How to Reduce Your Insurance Rates for Young and New Drivers

Young Driver Insurance Edmonton

Are you a new driver in Edmonton? Likely your insurance rates are the highest they’ll ever be in your driving history. The same goes for young drivers on the road.

There are several ways to reduce your insurance bill as a young or new driver. Our brokers have helped many new drivers over the years.

A few tips to reduce your insurance rates:

  • Drive safe
  • Take a defensive driving course
  • A higher deductible leads to lower rates
  • Avoid traffic tickets

Your new driver’s insurance premium will depend on many factors, including your age, model and make of car, and more.

From all the insurance companies that i called, with Sharp Insurance and with the Agent "Casey Epp" she helped me so much and conveniently with my quote and application, she's so calm and nice to talk to even with all the details throughout the whole conversation we had and we finished processing the policy in less than an hour. it was a smooth transaction and would highly recommend Casey 👌🏻👌🏻

If you are looking for someone that will work hard to find you the best auto insurance rate, look no further than the team at Sharp Insurance. Casey Epp was absolutely amazing! She was quick to answer all of our questions, was clear about price breakdowns, and went out of her way to ensure that we received the best premium possible. Shopping around for auto insurance can be painful, but Casey made it a positive experience and we could not be happier to make the move over to Sharp Insurance.

I would like to say thank you so much to Casey Epp for a great service! She explained me everything so professionally! More than this she did all the paperwork for my tenant insurance less than 1 hour.All of my questions were answered with explanation of each detail. That’s what I really like about any service I get.
Victor Manuel Pascua F.
Tia Nelson (the client care representative) has been very helpful and professional. She helped me settle my missed payment after I switched to a new insurance company, which could have been devastatingly painful if I had to pay the insurance company for a whole year as a penalty. When she immediately called me back after our first conversation, I had this feeling that she wouldn't just leave me waiting for a penalty note. She called the insurance right away to justify my circumstances and listened to her where in the end I was paying for the amount due, not the whole year. People like her could make a difference in your life.
Victor F.
Simran Bath helped me by removing my old car and add a new one to my insurance. The process was so quick that I had the pink copy while we are having conversation over the phone! She showed compassion, genuineness, and speed in her transaction with me. Thank you Simran!

I am a sharp customer for 9 years since I landed in Canada, they are good and responsive, however being close on both Saturday and Sunday is not a very convenient practice for its customers, moreover a bigger pain point is that their on-call wait time for a new customer and an existing customer vary by a large number which seems totally unfair and feel like exploitation of existing customers, I hope they will look into this, they do charge top dollars for their service so a better turn around seems like need of the hour.
Paulie D
Makes dealing with insurance so easy. Called in to make some changes and the Rep Megan Beck was so knowledgeable and really there to help. She was also very polite and kind.and answered all my questions with great solutions.

I have been with sharp for 10 years, and when I first bought my new Tacoma, I only had 9yr driving experience, and being young, they beat the competitions prices by half! Couldn't believe it. I shopped around years later, and still was the best price. Not hard to get ahold of them either.
Jacob J.
Sharp Insurance is a great place for tenant insurance. They always take care of my concerns and questions!

I called sharp insurance. The wait on hold was intense. But once I got Kyle Lihaven on the phone. We talked and I explained what I had going on. He reviewed my policy. Got me the best rate available and also got it done the same day within 2hrs. I was impressed with the way he does his job. Excellent service. If you get to talk to Kyle Lihaven you won't be disappointed for a second. Keep up the great work. You are man

Writing this specifically for Catherine Sinclair-account manager with Sharp Insurance. Who who deal with regarding brokers, and receiving results will vary.Catherine is responsive, professional, well informed and obviously takes pride in her role as a customer service representative.I can’t or won’t comment on Sharp personally but I’m still with them solely due to the time Catherine took to set things right. Thank you 🙂

Our experience with Sharp insurance and Travis Stringer our broker has been nothing short of excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, explained everything thoroughly, answered all of our questions, and made himself available to us outside of business hours and on his days off. He was committed to getting us the best deal possible with the absolute best coverage and when we bundled our auto into the package we saved 40% on what we paid years before. I would rate Travis 10/10. If you read this Travis.....Thank you from Sean and Britt!

I was with multiple other brokers for years, they never suggested anything in the way of savings or went out of their way for me. Coming to sharp insurance due to my wife's patronage. I called in the last 30 mins of the day, pleasantly I had my insurance added and a digital pink card in my email in less than 30 mins. We were informed of "multiple policy savings" on top of the timely service. Today I called sharp to figure out a clerical issue on my pink card and the service I received from Casey Epp on the customer service team, believe it or not was faster easier and more productive than my first effortless endeavor with sharps team. Not only did Casey meet and exceed my requests she suggested I need not wait on the phone for her to complete my request and she would contact me on completion. I was so enamored by the service and the timely correspondence I had to let the people know, Sharp insurance is the broker for you! Thanks for the help Casey Epp you rock!

A bit of a long wait on the phone but Kyle Lihaven was fast, courteous and professional. he took care of my change and issued the required documents in a few minutes. I like this kind of attitude and way of working as I feel I am being dealt with in an expert manner with a no nonsense approach.
Overall Sharp is a good broker, but I would ask that wait times on the phone be shorter.
