Best Answer

Each state has rules governing which policy is primary and which is secondary. If the parents are together, most states use the birthday rule. That means the birthday of the parent that comes earliest in the year. If the parents are separated, it will be the parent with custody unless a court order says otherwise. Your insurer will know the answer for your state or Che k with your insurance department--they usually have a consumer advocate you can check with.

Do licenced minors have to be listed on the parents insurance policy?

Licensed minors do not need to be listed on the parents' insurance policy in this state. Any family member is included on the primary driver's insurance. However, the insurance agent must be informed about the fact that minors will be driving the car. They must be listed as drivers on a form and have an insurance card to drive legally. There is a difference between having an insurance card and being listed on the policy. Simply because they are not listed on the policy does not mean the rates will not go up. Different regulations may apply in your area.
