If you&#8217;re a Florida resident and your teenager has just obtained their driver&#8217;s permit, you might wonder if you need to add them to your insurance. Here is a brief overview that answers this question.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When Will Your Teen Obtain Their Official Driver&#8217;s License?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While it might be possible to add your teen to your auto insurance once their permit is obtained, it&#8217;s not mandatory. Your teen is only covered once they graduate with an official driver&#8217;s license. However, some insurance companies will allow you to add a teen to an existing policy with only a permit. You can never predict when your teen might become involved in a collision while learning to drive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, adding your teen to your auto insurance policy is unnecessary until they have obtained their official driver&#8217;s license. However, it&#8217;s a good idea to contact your insurance and inform them that your teen has obtained their driver&#8217;s permit, and if possible, you can add your teen to your policy beforehand. If you attempt to file a claim with your auto insurance and your uninsured teen was driving, it&#8217;s likely that the claim will be rejected. Therefore, it&#8217;s better to be safe than sorry.
