And injury coverage of any sort is not vehicle specific. That's age-specific -- i.e., the younger you are, the more likely you are to be part of an accident (whether your fault or not) that involves injury.
I would explore getting your teenager her own policy on a relatively inexpensive-to-run vehicle with little or no comprehensive coverage. This is what I did with my first car (a '76 Datsun 280z), which, frankly, wasn't worth covering with comprehensive at the time. Don't get her a beater -- but don't get her something with high repair costs, either.
