Do you need to be listed on both your parent's insurance policies if they're divorced?
I just got my driver's license and will be going onto my dad's insurance. My parents are divorced, do I also need to be on my mom's?

“If you are driving both of your parents’ vehicles and split time between their homes, you should be on each
car insurance
policy as an additional driver.Additional drivers are typically on policies when they reside at the same home and have access to the vehicles on a policy.
If you only live with one parent and will primarily drive their vehicle, you will only need to be listed on that policy. Should you be visiting the other parent and have permission to borrow their vehicle, their insurance should cover you if you borrow the car sparingly.
However, your parents should confirm with their respective car insurance companies. Some insurance companies require that children are listed on the policy, even if they are away at school or a different address.
If you are required to be on both policies, your parents should look at their insurance rates. As new drivers typically cost more to insure, they may need to shop car insurance rates with an insurance broker like

to ensure they’re getting the best rate.”View full answer
