Reader’s Question:

Is the student covered on household car insurance until they are out of college? Or do they have to be listed as a driver on the car insurance policy? We live in Berkeley, CA.

If the teen either resides in the household or lists their parent’s house as their permanent address while at college then an insurance provider will usually require the child to stay on the parent’s auto insurance policy.

If the teen stays in the parent’s household after college then the child would need to continue to be listed as a driver on the car insurance policy as well.

Most insurance providers in Berkeley, California will require you to continue to have your licensed teen listed on your car insurance policy as long as they reside in your household, even if they are eighteen or older in age. Your insurance provider will want all licensed drivers residing in a household listed on the car insurance policy.
