Car Insurance for Child who just got G2

So my Daughter just passed her drivers test and now has her G2. 1 step away from full fledged G license.
She will rarely be driving either of my 2 cars. Maybe twice per week for less than 50 KMs/Week
Do I need to put her on my Car Insurance as an occasional driver?

Yes.

Be glad she's a daughter not a son.

Not really:


Young ppl do stupid shit, esp. when it comes to driving. It also often turns out badly, largely because driver training, testing, and licensing is so pathetic in places like Can, US.

Yes, you should. I think it also benefits her in the future with insurance as well but I can't exactly remember.

My 24 yo coworker destroyed a 50k suv in an accident she was at fault for. She pays less then I did at 19 years old for a $2500 shitbox woth liability. Be glad she doesn't have a penis.

Like an above poster mentioned it will greatly benefit her in the future when she eventually gets her own insurance. One really important thing is keeping records for her proof that she was insured so in the future when she goes solo it won't be like it's her first time being insured and gets charged the insane first time driver or whatever rate

Indeed. My son got his G2 in September and the cost to add him to just one of our vehicles as an occasional driver was breathtaking.

Ah yes on insurance cost that's a good point perhaps. In term of her possibly doing something stupid and destroying a car or hurting herself...you never know. Well I mean if it's your kid you probably should have a good idea of their propensity for doing stupid shit (or not); but, a lot of times parents are also "shocked their son/daughter would do something like this" so yeah.

As someone who didn’t get the benefit of this , I can attest to the thousands yearly you’re saving your daughter by doing this.

yes you need to advise your insurance that she now has her G2. if you are currently the only lic'd driver in the household with 2 cars, she will now be primary on one of them. 2 cars need 2 drivers. If your daughter is now the 3rd licd op in the houshold, you'll just add her as an occ'l op. Make sure you provide your insurer with her drivers history report which you can get from service ontario to show her completion of drivers ed.

Depends. If its 293/mo as a primary driver, thats getting off easy. If that is the cost as an occasional driver, yup its a bit high.

According to my insurance company, you have to either add a G2 driver to the policy or sign an exclusion promising that they will not drive any of your vehicles.

are we now, able to sue Insurance companies for discrimination against genders?

And with all the identity politics, can an 18yo male identify himself as 45yo female to get cheap rate?
