Removing a second driver GICO

[fburke]

What is the name of your state Massachusetts



I am trying to drop my ex-girlfriend form my Auto insurance policy. She has a few surcharges and it causing my bill to be higher than just me because I have none. The car is titled in my name and her name is not on it at all I just tried to do the right thing and list her as a driver.

I am no longer with her or live with her but they won’t let me take her of my policy until she has other coverage.

Is this a state law or something with a Gico policy? Or something in my current policy,
Can they force me to still carry her on my policy? Something doesn’t seem right about this.

Thanks

They think that you are still together and that she is going to continue to use your car. Either convince them that you are truly broken up or get insurance from another company.

Have you explained that you are no longer a couple, that she does not live with you, and does not have access to that car?

I had *no* problem dropping my *husband* from my auto insurance policy with Geico within a week of getting an order of protection against him - and I would think that would be a more obvious (and legal) link. (FWIW, dropping upped my insurance, because a woman without a man is obviously a worse driver. )

MA has had a history of having odd auto insurance regulations, but I can't see why you would be required to insure someone else who is not in a position to be using your vehicle. You are not your ex's keeper.
