5 People That Should Be Listed on Your Car Insurance

​Living in a house with several cars and many adults eligible to drive can make your auto insurance coverage confusing. Figuring out who you should include in your policy is essential. By doing so, your insurance provider can quickly assist you when you file for claims rather than risking yourself with various legal liabilities if there is an issue with coverage after an accident.

​If you want to ensure you have the right coverage without paying extra for insurance you have to consider who to add to your auto insurance policy. Anyone can purchase their own policy, however a family policy is often more affordable. If there are many drivers in your home, think about whether you want to include them in the policy or not. Here are 6 common people that need to be listed on your policy:

Teen Drivers of Divorced Parents

Whether the teen is living with you or not, as soon as he knows how to drive, make sure that you include him in your policy as well. Most insurance companies require divorced parents to do so even if their teen driver only visits them from time to time. These companies will always assume that their children will use the car anytime.

Family Member Coming Home

If your adult child stays with you again at home, inform your insurance company so they can include them in your policy. Since they would become a regular part of your home again, they will also have regular access to the car too unless they move back with their automobile.

Parents Living with You

Elders who are staying in the same house as yours and can drive the car anytime should also be a part of your insurance coverage. It's a must unless they have a copy of their own policy which you can show your insurance company in case of emergency.

Caregiver

Do you have somebody who drives your regularly using your car? If you have a friend or a caregiver doing so, they must also be included in the policy as well.

Other People Who Regularly Borrow the Car

If you’re kind-hearted and let other people regularly borrow your car even if they don’t live with you, then don’t hesitate to include them in your auto insurance coverage. If they face an accident, you could be liable for paying the damages and injuries they caused if they're not listed on your insurance.
