Do I need to purchase insurance for school driving lessons or are driving school cars fully insured?
Sue from Anaheim High School in California asks: I am thinking about signing up for driving lessons with a school. Do I need to purchase insurance or are driving school cars fully insured?
Hello Sue, good for you to care about the safety and well being of your child; there's never a better time to make sure your covered by insurance than when learning to drive!
I can't speak for all driving schools, but if a school is licensed by the DMV, then they have to be insured.
When you talk to a driving school, ask what their DMV license # is and then you should be able to double check them on the CA DMV website at :https://mv.dmv.ca.gov/olinq2/welcome.do
For example, Drivers Ed Direct (a leading California driving institution) is licensed by the DADMV and you will see that their DMV license # is 4141.
Hope that helps,
Until next time Sue, keep up the good work as a concerned parent...I know I don't have to be concerned about you!
