If he resides in your home or at a college dorm.... Depends on his driving experience. If he has a clean record, maintains a high grade point average, it may be beneficial to add him to your policy as a driver to his own vehicle. Most preferred companies offer a substantial discount for good students. All vehicles would also receive a multi-car discount, and he would be covered with the same limits of liability that you carry. If he is a full time student (even thru college years), he is still considered a dependent in the eyes of the law. Therefore, if he is at-fault in an accident, the injured party could still come after you as the parents. Having higher liability limits would be in your best interest under those circumstances.
