Does the Texas Adult Driver Education Course (ADE) Lower My Insurance

Completing the Texas ADE may qualify you for an auto insurance discount. Contact your insurer to confirm. The primary purpose of this course is to obtain a Texas driver's license.

Updated today

Completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course may qualify you for an auto insurance discount with some providers. However, the primary purpose of this course is to satisfy the Texas driver education requirement for obtaining a first driver's license — insurance savings are a secondary benefit.

How the Insurance Discount Works

After completing the course and receiving your ADEE-1317 certificate, contact your auto insurance provider to ask whether they offer a discount for completing a TDLR-approved adult driver education course. If they do, provide your certificate as proof of completion.

Not All Insurers Offer a Discount

Insurance discounts for driver education vary by provider. Contact your specific insurer before enrolling if an insurance discount is your primary reason for taking the course.

If You Are 25 or Older and Taking the Course Voluntarily

Adults 25 and older who enroll voluntarily sometimes do so to take the DPS written exam online and potentially qualify for an insurance discount. If this applies to you, confirm with your insurer before enrolling.
