How do I add my child to my car insurance?
My daughter just got her license and is going to be using my car pretty often. How do I add her to my insurance so she's covered in my car?

Congrats to your daughter for getting her license!
You can add her to your policy simply by calling your insurance agent. Some companies also allow you to add a driver online. Here’s some basic information you’ll need about the driver you want to add:
- Name
- Birthdate
- Gender
- Social Security number
- Current employment info
- Driver’s license number
- Any accidents or tickets
Keep in mind that adding a driver to your policy may impact your insurance premium. Also, young drivers are more likely to cause a claim and are riskier for insurance companies, which can make your insurance
more expensive
. It’s important to be prepared for the additional cost or use a service like

- Defensive driving course discounts
We hope she enjoys being behind the wheel!
