SR22 Tennessee Car Insurance
Q: My daughter is about to get her learner’s permit. I have SR22 car insurance. If I had her, my rates will go up, right? Do children with learner’s permits have to have car insurance?
A: Anyone who drives is required to have car insurance, or at the very least drive a car which is insured by someone else. If a driver is part of the household (defined as people who live together and are related by blood, adoption, or marriage) of the SR22 car insurance policy holder, then they must be a named driver on the policy so that the car insurance company can rate accordingly. If they are not added to the policy, the consequences are pretty harsh. Your policy could be canceled, and if your daughter got into a car accident, the company may choose to deny her claim.
Your rates will indeed go up if you add your daughter to your SR22 car insurance policy, probably by about 50%. If you take certain measures, though, you can make it to where it doesn’t rise that much. Make sure your daughter is taking a driver’s education course as she works towards her license so that she can get a discount. You and her can both enroll yourselves in a defensive driving course as well for an additional discount.
