Insurance Question? (Student + Single Car)

[NLI10D]

someone correct me if the info is wrong but i heard from someone that if u dont tell insurance company of all the drivers in the household and they find out, that cause to cancel the insurance at any time, or if you get into an accident they could refuse your claim because you did not inform them of all the drivers.

right or wrong info?

I believe so. However, insurance may not force into it if the claim is small.
Missing out material information can void the policy.

How much substantially is it I say drive a low powered minivan compared to a car?

I have my G, which is the full license, I already finished the graduated licensing (G1, G2, w/ valid MTO Driving Course).

I have no convictions. Any loopholes? Male insurance is around 1200-1500. My cousins live nearby, and there are no nothing on my name under the home address (we use a postal box), would it be a better choice?

I am fairly safe, but can be safer if I do proceed with this. I know a few friends who are doing this way too, and fortunately nothing has happened. And universitie is coming up, which makes a better excuse to why im "not" living at home.

Help guys, 1.5G is alot, and I plan to have my own car for school purpose in the fall, I can afford the car payments, but not insurance. So if I were to drop my name, the cost of owning 2 cars without my name would be equivalent

There is a loophole...from what i understand if the address on your lic. isnt the same as your parents they dont have to add you to their policy, and you can still "borrow" the car if their policy covers third party drivers.

However, if you are planning on getting your own car it would be a better idea to stay on as second driver till you get the car because when you become a primary driver your insurance will be lower.

$1200-1500 is not a lot, actually its NOTHING for a male that just got their G.

This is secondary, being alone will result to 9500 for basically any car.

I haven't even notified my insurance broker of my G license status.

Thank's about the loophole. My mom does't have her license, so even if she gets her G1/G2, it will be fairly expensive for both of us (7K instead of 9.5K). Would the best be to "move" with my cousins for school (University is in Fall), and just claim to visit if anything happens? There will be 2 cars under my dad name, (SUV and hopefully compact 4 door, i.e. 1.7EL/Mazda3).

Should I decline Collision Coverage to save some money, or is it not worth it (2002 CRV)? Will be declining Comprehensive because have no intentions to use it since insurance rate is high already.

1200 - 1500 for a new car as 2nd driver is nothing if thats the quote they gave you take it, thats only 100 bux a month, you give a 18 yr old a 20K++ car what quote were you hoping for?, you need collision coverage specially for a new driver, basicalyl if you have one way insurance then anything its your fault it wont be covered. Your dad wont be able to keep 2 cars under his name if his not the only driver in the household.

The "move" tactic works fairly well, i know this cuz i used it when i went away to school and was still using the car when i came home for visits. However if something does happen then there might be questions that you have to be ready to answer, like what you were doing with the car at school and such. And the answers have to be reasonable otherwise ur screwed.

btw our policy was with state farm.

On a 2002 CRV i would definately get collision coverage because that would be a pretty expensive car to replace or even to fix up if something did happen.

I dont know who u have the coverage with but most companies offer good student discounts, Drivers Ed. Discounts and such. You may want to look into it.

My dad will be the primary driver once I move out And I already have Driver's Education. I believe I can think of possible excuses like "My aunt had an emergency but I needed to goto school so I went home and drove to school".

Thanks everybody. If I can save 1500, might as well, money is tight, it can go towards a second car used for school purposes (ie insurance for the 2nd car).

What does it mean by third party? Liability only (decline in Collision/Comprehensive)? And what does that cover? What about accidents?



What does living in the basement have to do with anything? lol

DIFFERENT apartment/location!
