Family auto insurance is a blanket term for auto insurance that protects all members of your family. If you have teenagers in your family, you know how much your insurance can increase when you add a teen driver. When you add young drivers to your family insurance policy, it becomes more vital than ever to find the best rate.

Keeping Your Rate Low

To help keep the rate on your family auto insurance as low as possible, follow these tips:

* Enroll your son or daughter in a driver’s education course and in a defensive driving class. Insurance companies usually offer discounts for teen drivers who have completed these types of classes.

* Promote excellent grades. Most insurance companies offer discounts to excellent students, meaning students with a B or better average.

* Consider getting your son or daughter a separate policy rather than count him or her to your policy. If your child drives an older car and never drives your car, this step could save you money.

* Avoid buying your child a sporty new car or a sports utility vehicle. Opt for a safe and sturdy older model vehicle to save money on your insurance.

You also need to say your insurance companionship if your child leaves home for college. Your family auto insurance policy usually covers a car that your child takes to college, as long as the parent is the registered owner. But depending on where the college is, your insurance rates could increase or decrease.

If your child is going to college in a further state, you also need to make sure that your insurance coverage meets the minimum insurance requirements in that state.

General Motors—world’s largest automaker and manufacturer of quality Oldsmobile mufflers — together with its China joint ventures are going to showcase a couple of vehicles under the theme Driving China’s Automotive Industry into the Future at the Auto Shanghai 2007. 41 vehicles from GM, SAIC-GM-Wuling, and Shanghai General Motors are to be presented on the 4,500 square-meter stand at the Auto Shanghai 2007.

GM China Group President and Managing Director Kevin E. Wale, “GM is proud to be joining our joint ventures to show the people of China our unmatched lineup of vehicles in addition to some new products and technologies that are making their first appearance in China. Our stand demonstrates how China’s vehicle buyers are benefiting from our partnerships today and will continue to subsidy from our partnerships well into the future.”

The main focus of the GM’s stand is the two concept vehicles that are making their worldwide premier. The two products are to be personally introduced by GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner.

The Buick Riviera is a charming coupe developed with global design input by GM’s Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) in Shanghai. The Riviera concept was made to showcase Buick’s new global design management that combines East and West. The Riviera also marks the restore of a well loved Buick nameplate after an eight-year break.

Aside from the Riviera Concept, the producer of the renowned Oldsmobile muffler will also showcase its latest achievement in electric and fuel cell technologies which is the next iteration of the E-Flex electric architecture. This second variant of E-Flex system that will make its first appearance in Shanghai makes use of GM’s new fifth-generation fuel cell propulsion technology and a lithium-ion battery.

The system was first launched last January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in the form of the Chevrolet Volt concept vehicle. Chevy’s Volt will also be showed at GM’s stand for the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show.

Aside from the Buick Riviera and E-Flex system there would be other concept vehicles that are going to be showed on the GM stand such as the Chevrolet Camaro sports car, the Chevrolet WTCC race car, and the Cadillac Cien sedan.

Production Vehicles on Show

In addition to the concept vehicles, GM together with its joint ventures are also going to show its array of products that are currently or will soon be offered in China such as the following:

A further new addition to the Buick range is the Buick Park Avenue luxury sedan which is the brand’s top-of-the-line model. The rest of Buick lineup includes the three members of the Excelle family, Buick LaCrosse premium sedan, and Shanghai’s best-selling model the Buick GL8 executive wagon.

The Cadillac which is GM’s American luxury brand has showed all five vehicles that are presently being offered in China. One of the best-selling Cadillac products, the Cadillac SLS luxury business sedan is making its first appearance at the Auto Shanghai.

Chevrolet has also presented its range of cars starting off with its Chevrolet Spark mini-car and the all new Chevrolet Epica intermediate sedan which has started selling last March. The Chevrolet Aveo hatchback together with the well loved Chevrolet Lova compact sedan will also be place on show at the GM stand.

GM’s Opel import brand from Germany will also show for the first time in China its two new models, the Opeal Astra GTC that features a panorama windshield that provide both the driver as well as the front seat passenger with an unlimited field of thought. Passengers also get to experience their surroundings with a feel just like being inside the cockpit of an aircraft since there is no crossbeam that is limiting the view. The Opel Astra Twin Top which was launched in Europe last May 2006 is a slimline four-seat cabrio-coupe and the first car in its class to feature an innovative three-part roof system.

Saab, which is GM’s premium brand from Sweden, is showing four members of its Saab 9-3 family that includes the Convertible, Sporthatch, Linear sedan, and vector sedan. Also joining the show is the Saab 9-5 Aero sedan.
