Reader’s Question:
I gave a new car to my young daughter as a birthday present. As I shop for a policy that will provide insurance coverage to her in Texas, I can’t help but ask, “why are car insurance for young women a bit more expensive than mine?”

The answer to your question is simple: Like any other car 
insurance policies for young or new drivers, car insurance for young women also tend to be more expensive as compared to ordinary car insurance policies. This is because Texas car insurance companies see a greater risk of having the car stolen, damaged or lost when this is under the care of young drivers or teenagers. For car insurance companies, there is a preconceived thought that young drivers should be charged higher since they are new to the road and are more prone to frequent road accidents. Their inexperience on the road will cause them to pay for higher car insurance costs. However, there is a way to break this preconceptions that car insurance companies have on young women. All you have to do is to prove that you are capable of defensive or safety driving to assure car insurance companies that you are not prone to road accidents and that you have the ability to anticipate road hazards no matter in what road or weather conditions.
One way to prove to them your driving skills is to attend a driving course that focuses on safety and defensive driving. There is one common driving program that car insurance companies acknowledge and recommend. The Pass Plus course will allow driver students to learn defensive driving and anticipating road hazards whether they are driving at night, in town, or when the weather is fierce. Passing this course will gain you chances to have a cheaper car insurance for young women.
Being an outstanding student in your school may also grant you a car insurance for young women without the high cost. Naturally, young drivers, comprising mostly teenagers, are more prone to drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol due to peer pressure. Fortunately, some insurance companies relates excellent scholastic records to excellent discipline. Thus, they reward outstanding students with discounted car insurance policies even without having their parents named as co-drivers.

Driver’s License Cancellation and Car Insurance Texas TX
Reader’s Question:
My son is 16 and has a driver’s license and is listed under my car insurance policy. He sometimes takes the car without my permission and drives around town with friends. Can I request for cancellation of his driver’s license here in Texas?
Jill
Houston, TX
Having your son listed under your car insurance policy means that at any time your son gets involved in an accident, and is found to be at fault, your car insurance shoulders the cost of treatment of bodily injury and repairs to property damage resulting from the accident, provided that you have sufficient liability coverage in your policy.
Your son’s tendency to take your car out for a drive without permission may result in a number of headaches for you. Although it may seem like an extreme measure, canceling his driver’s license is one way of lowering the risk of your son getting involved in an unfortunate accident. As a parent, you signed the Financial Responsibility Statement. This actually gives you the authority to request for driver’s license cancellation at any time until your son turns 18. If you’re really set on doing that, what you need to do is accomplish the Minor Affidavit (DLD-38) form and present it together with your son’s driver’s license at the DMV office in Texas. Your son’s license will be surrendered. Always keep in mind that parents will always be held responsible for any financial obligation if they knowingly and willfully allow an underage driver drive without a license.

I live in Houston Texas. A car insurance agent called us up and ask if there is any young licensed drivers in the household. I gave my sister’s name and the car insurance agent said that she will be excluded. What happens if my sister borrows my car, will she still be covered?
Jennifer
Houston, TX
Insurance providers requires you to list all licensed household members so they may be able to determine their risk for having these licensed household drivers covered by your auto insurance. When you buy car insurance policy there can be risk to insurance carrier covering all household members that is why many insurance provider requires you to add or exclude a licensed household member. The main reason for all this is because as a household member, you may have access to the vehicle and may drive it anytime.
If your sister resides with you in Houston, Texas then your insurance carrier would want to know.

Im 19 years old and I just got my drivers license and I am just wondering if I need to get car insurance in Beaumont, Texas for the driving test or it is okay as long as the car that I will be using is insured. I will be using my mother’s car.
Mary
Beaumont, TX
I suggest that you verify with the Texas Department of Public Safety what kind of insurance you will need for driving test. Your mother’s insurance carrier will likely require to be listed in her car insurance policy so you may be covered while driving your mother’s vehicle.
According to the Texas Department of Insurance, young drivers may be able to satisfy the financial responsibility law by being added to their parent’s car insurance policy. Your mother may expect an increase on her car insurance policy if she adds a teenager to her car insurance policy but it is much cheaper than getting a separate policy.
I suggest that you make sure that you are added to your mother’s car insurance policy in Beaumont, Texas by contacting her insurance company to make sure you will be covered in case accident happens. Insurance companies require policyholders to list all licensed household members to their car insurance policy because if they do not and the insurers finds out later, the insurance carrier will charge the policyholder for the extra premium that should have been paid.

My son does not live at home and he is not a student. He is only 20 years old. So I am wondering if we still need to continue to insure him in our car insurance policy in Lewisville, Texas.
Robert
Lewisville, TX
Generally, since your son no longer resides in your household in Lewisville, Texas and is not a student, it is possible that your car insurance company will no longer permit your son to be added to your car insurance policy however car insurance company’s guidelines vary so I would suggest that you contact your own car insurance provider to check if you may be able to exclude your son who is not living with you and not a student.
Most car insurance company would not want to continue to insure your son under your car insurance policy in Lewisville, Texas if your son lives in a separate address. most insurance providers will not insure a car to more than one household so your son may have to buy automobile insurance for the car.

Reader’s Question:
I am 19 years old and my father is letting me have his vehicle. He is financing it through a bank and makes the monthly payments. Is it possible to buy my own auto insurance on the car even though the vehicle is in his name? We live in El Paso, Texas.
Michelle
El Paso, TX
It can be hard to find auto insurance for a vehicle that you do not own and therefore do not have your name on the title. Most insurance providers typically will want you to have insurable interest in the automobile in order to get car insurance on it. Having insurable interest means being an car owner, lien holder or co-signer.
If you do not have insurable interest in the vehicle, you may still be able to get auto insurance on the car in El Paso from other insurance providers. In some cases some insurance companies will permit you to buy an auto insurance policy even if you do not own the car.

sr22 Texas insurance
Reader’s Question:
I just want to know the procedure in removing an sr22 in the state of Texas.
Henry
Thank you for asking Henry.
An SR-22 insurance policy in Texas is a certificate of insurance that shows proof of insurance in the future to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), as required by law. SR22 is motor vehicle liability insurance which requires the insurance providers to certify the coverage to the DPS, and the insurance provider must inform DPS if the policy is cancelled, terminated or lapses.
There is form called SR-26 which must be filed by the insurance company to cancel or terminate the SR-22. If you no longer needs the SR-22 you should tell your insurance provider to cancel it. Some insurance companies may want you to provide documentation from the DPS that the SR22 can be remove already before filing the SR-26. You may contact the DPS to confirm that you can remove the SR-22.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
I just want to know how much a car insurance will go up when I add a teenager on my policy. I live in Texas.
Giselle
Thank you for asking Giselle.
Because of the fact that teenagers that are newly licensed have such high rates of accidents they cost more to insure than an experienced driver who is more prone to avoid an accident than cause it.
In Texas, the costs of adding a teenager will depend upon your insurance rates already, your location and your teen etc. For example if you live in a congested area where your child is more likely to be involved in an accident compare to a more suburban or rural area the rate to insure your teenager will likely be higher.
Generally, adding a teenager may cost $1200 to even $2500 a year. On average, a 16 year old can expect to pay 2.52 times the base rate for their car insurance policy. If you as a parent wanting to add a teen to your policy and is currently now paying $500 for a year of car insurance, then adding a 16 year old newly licensed driver onto your policy could raise your rates to (again on average) $1260 for a year of car insurance.
It depends on where you live according to some studies show that your insurance rates may go up 50 to 200 percent for adding on a teenager.
Goodluck!

Reader’s Question:
Can I have my own insurance in TX if I only have a learner’s permit and Im only 15 years old?
Nicole
Thank you for asking Nicole
Young drivers in Texas must comply with the state’s financial responsibility laws, just as older mtorists do. Most young drivers, have the option of satisfying their legal requirements by being added to their parents’ car insurance policy.
It is very expensive to add a young driver to an insurance policy, but it’s cheaper than taking out a separate auto policy. If you want to be insured by your parent’s insurance compnay then they must discuss adding you to insurance policy with their auto insurance agent.
If however you want your own insurance policy it may be possible with just a permit but some insurance carrier will require a fully licensed driver to be on the insurance policy with you. In addition to that, a 15 year old minor you will need a parent or guardian to sign the insurance documents/contract with you.
Most companies would want you to be able to upgrade your learner’s permit first by acquiring a full license within a short period of time after the start of your insurance policy as well if you are trying to take out the policy on your own.
Goodluck!
