Drivers to Be Listed on Your Car Insurance

12/29/2017

2 Comments

 
Picture
​Car insurance covers the damages inflicted to both the vehicle and the driver. However, your claim might be denied if the person driving is not listed on the car insurance. This is why you should list everyone who may drive your car. Some insurance companies may list everyone living with you who has a license by default as the drivers, but even people outside your house may also drive your car frequently. Here are some drivers that you need to make sure is listed on your policy.
1. Your parents

Aside from avoiding your claims being denied, it is also important to list your parents as drivers because as people age, they won’t drive as well anymore, and they’re more likely to get into accidents. If your parents have their own car, then there’s no need to list them, you just have to make sure they have their own insurance.

2. Teenagers who just got a license

Teenagers are more prone to accidents compared to adult drivers. This is why it is important to get insurance for both physical injuries and damages to your car. Whether your children live with you or not, if your children drive your car time to time, it’s best to have them listed on your car insurance policy.

3. People who borrows your car

You don’t have to list people who borrows your car as a driver to your policy, because even if they do get accident, it will still be covered by the insurer, as long as they have a driver’s license. However, accidents that are done by the people borrowing your car may cause your premium to go higher.

4. Grown up children who lives with you

If your children are grown up but is still living with you, or due to some circumstances decided to live with you again, you have to list them as a driver in your car insurance policy. If they are not listed as a driver, same like for your parents, your claims might be denied by the insurer.

5. Your Caregiver

If you have a caregiver driving you around, you have to list them as a driver in your policy, or even as a primary driver if you don’t have a license anymore. You will still have to be the one insuring your car, because you’re the one financially responsible if something happens to the car.

Listing drivers are important so your claims won’t be denied when something happens to your car. However, listing high-risk drivers might cause your premium to go up to a certain amount depending on the insurer. Make sure that you have an insurer that can provide the best rates.

Vehicles should be provided with suitable insurance coverage to claim financial aid after an accident. However, the terms and conditions associated with the insurance process needs to be properly examined. Apart from this, one should drive a vehicle very carefully to prevent any major accidents. Use of faulty components also responsible for an accident. So, the condition of different components needs to be evaluated at a regular interval and damaged components should be replaced with suitable alternatives.

Thanks for pointing out the importance of listing everyone who may drive a vehicle which is really essential to strengthen the claim. Apart from this, one should learn the terms and condition associated with the insurance coverage prior to select one. Apart from this, a lot of influence on the insurance premium rate. The vehicle should be inspected regularly to identify and repair mechanical issues associated with the vehicle to reduce the possibility of an accident.
