Car Insurance Question  My son will be taking one of my cars with him to college. Does this mean that he will be considered the principal driver on the policy?

If your son is borrowing your car to take with him to college, he must be listed on the policy. Companies have different definitions for either a principal driver, occasional driver and/or primary driver.

Most insurance companies will consider someone as the principal driver on the policy if he or she is the registered owner of the vehicle, drives the vehicle to work or school, or drives the vehicle more than anyone else.
