Son's Auto Insurance


We live in IN. My son is currently driving a car in my name, but he is listed as the primary driver of the vehicle. The car is only driven to and from school (about 5 miles/day). Does he need to be listed as the primary driver, or can the primary driver be me becasue I am the owner? Would any accident still be covered if he were driving but was not listed as a driver? Is this what is covered by uninsured motorist?

I am trying to find ways to cut insurance costs. The insurance on the car right now is ridiculous!

Thanks!

This is between you and your insurance company. Talk to your insurance agent for advice.

" Would any accident still be covered if he were driving but was not listed as a driver? "

This would depend on the terms of your policy. Hiding a teenage driver could be considered fraud by the insurance company and they could deny any liability.

"Is this what is covered by uninsured motorist?"

No

"I am trying to find ways to cut insurance costs."
