When a 16 year old gets his license, is he automatically covered by his parents insurance? If not, and he drives their car, what is their liability?

Some insurance companies will extend coverage to new drivers. Others do not. If the parent's insurance company does not, then they would be personally liable for you. We recomend contacting the parents insurance company to verify if coverage is extended to the new driver.

You can always compare prices here when adding on a 16 year old.
