How much your annual policy premium increases when you add a teen driver depends a lot on where you live -- and in some states, it can even double.

InsuranceQuotes.com commissioned a study by Quadrant Information Services to examine the economic impact of adding a driver between the ages of 16 and 19 to a family's existing car insurance policy.

According to the study, families who add a teen driver to their existing auto insurance policy will see an average annual premium increase of 80%, up slightly from last year's average increase of 79%. One of the reasons for premium increases is teens' inexperience, which can lead to more car accidents.
