Usually not. Your kid, while still in school, will probably consider your home his primary residence. Generally, insurance companies do, too.

In your case, in particular, being in the same state makes it highly unlikely that your carrier will base your rates on two separate residences.

The above answer is incorrect, the majority of insurance companies will rate the Kid at the address of the school if in the same State as the parents. It is'nt based on where the kid thinks his primary residence is. If the kid is going to be going to school -out of state- then the insurance company will use the parents address as the rating address

Can a car be registered and insured in the owner's state when a family member uses the car in a different state?

You need to be very careful when doing something like this. If the person driving the car is a member of the immediate family and household like the owners son who is in college, the insurance company may be willing to accept the risk if they do business in the state where the son is located. You need to make certain that the garaging address for that vehicle is shown as the son's address as well and that the company knows the arrangement and agrees to the situation. The son or family member must also be listed as a driver on the policy. The rates will be based on the garaging address where the son is located. If the company is not aware of the situation and claim occurs they will most likely deny the claim due to "material misrepresentation" which basically means you lied to the company.


Can a parents leased car be driven by their child and housed at a different address other than the policy address?

You need to make sure the insurance company knows that the child is now the primary driver on that vehicle and you also have to give them the garaging address where the vehicle is normally kept. These are requirements under the policy. As long as you are honest with the insurance company you will find that an auto insurance policy is a very flexible contract. As a matter of full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Company in Central Georgia and have for the past 22 years. Prior to that I worked as an agent for a direct writer of insurance for 3 years.

If I were relocating to another state and need to get a new license will I need to change the insurance to my name if all the cars are under my parents names?

Most likely you will. You need to notify your insurance company of the move immediately so that they can change the garaging address. Ask your agent about whether or not your company even does business in your new state. If you are an adult, you need your own insurance in your name. You vehicles should also be in your name. Whether or not your company does business in the new state or not, you need to get with an independent agent in the new state to check rates. One company may be competitive in one state but not in another.
