Going through the process of divorce is challenging enough for your family as it is. If?you already have teenagers who can drive you surely don?t need more difficulties?by setting up?the right insurance coverage. Divorced parents should take note of these details when considering?car insurance for their teenage drivers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Divorced couples are required to have separate<\/span> auto insurance<\/span> policies. However, the number of policies that would cover your teen driver will depend on your insurance company. In this the case, you have to consult your agent<\/a> about their procedures regarding this situation.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have custody of your?child and he ?uses the car regularly, it?s important that you include his name under your insurance policy. The same goes if your ex-wife or ex-husband has the primary custody – the teen driver?s name should be included in their insurance policy.<\/span><\/p>\n On the other hand, if you have joint custody over your teenage driver, both parents should add his name to their individual auto insurance policies. It’s essential especially if he has the access to drive the cars regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n When in doubt, if the child has access to drive your car they should be on your policy.<\/span><\/p>\n For teen drivers who are lucky to have their own cars, it?s usually most affordable to have the child and his or her vehicle included in one of the policies with their parent however that might not always be the case. At?Velox Insurance<\/a>, we can guide you on how to choose whether one policy or two is optimal for you and your teen driver.<\/span><\/p>\n To save money, some divorced parents try not to include their teen driver in any of their insurance policies. Unfortunately this decision is putting you and your child at risk. In case of an accident there may be issues if it looks like you purposely avoided adding a child that should have been listed on your policy.<\/span><\/p>\n There are lots of ways to get insurance discounts from your carrier?and every discount is important when it comes to insurance rates for teen drivers<\/a>. Make sure?your teen driver completes a safety driving course. Discounts are sometimes?available to?teen drivers who get good grades. Talk to your insurance agent<\/a> to find out more about the discounts available in your situation.<\/span><\/p>\n Show your kids how to drive responsibly and safely.
