Insurance providers in most states are permitted to have their own rating system. These providers usually look at many factors when determining a car insurance rate, experience of the motorist can be once such factor. Age is also a factor when determining car insurance premium.
If you are a newly licensed teen motorist at age 23 then your rates will be higher than others that have been driving for almost ten years already however it may not be as high as a newly licensed driver at 16, since you may be thought of by insurance companies as more mature. Maturity to an insurers means less likely to operate a vehicle in a reckless manner. The insurance premium will likely though still be higher than another 23 year old female that has been driving for a few years because this individual has a driving record for the insurance provider to check.
What you can do as a new teen driver is to shop around for insurance rates since, different insurers have different rating standards.
