I just got my permit, can I drive in my parent's car without my name being added to the insurance policy?
Yan from Harvard Westlake in Los Angeles, CA asks: Hey Jonny my good man. I just got my permit today!!!!!!!!!! Can I drive with my parents on their insurance, or do they have to add me to their insurance? You dig? ?
Hey there Yan, this question is easy to answer, though it may not help you too much. Every insurance company handles teen driver's with permits differently. Some auto insurance companies
allow teens with learners permits to drive as long as their parents have insurance on the vehicle being driven. Other insurance companies will require parents to add their son or
daughter to their insurance policy before the teen can legally drive the car.
Your best bet is to call your insurance company and see what their policy is.
Hope that helps, sorry I couldn't give you a yes or no answer - sometimes, that's the way the driving cookie crumbles...
Until next time, call your insurance company, see their policy for teen drivers, and practice legally with your parents!
