It's not uncommon for parents to come to us looking for the safest cars for new drivers. After all, you want to do everything you can to keep your new driver protected on the road. We're addressing how to find the safest cars at MileOne Autogroup Look for IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Award Winners 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit organization that has made it its mission to limit accidents and injuries on the road. They evaluate all new vehicles on their safety features, headlights, and more. They also test their crashworthiness with a series of crash tests. The top cars are named an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ or Top Safety Pick award winner, so these vehicles are a great place to start.  

Check for Vehicles with NHTSA Five-Star Ratings 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is part of the Department of Transportation. They also focus on reducing motor vehicle accidents. They put vehicles through a series of tests as well, and the vehicles are measured on a five-star rating system. Vehicles with a five-star overall rating are the safest vehicles on the road.  

Consider a Pre-Owned Vehicle 

We also have a plethora of pre-owned cars for sale that are standouts in terms of safety. We encourage you to chat with our team about specific models you're interested in, and we'd be happy to outline their safety features. You'll also benefit from the savings of buying a pre-owned vehicle, which makes them a great option for a new driver. Used cars are typically more affordable than a new vehicle, and you'll likely spend less on added costs, such as registration and insurance, as well.
