Car Insurance Question  Our son is going out of state to college this year. During the summer he is away teaching. He will not be driving during this time but may on an occassional visit home. Do I need to continue to insure him or would he be considered an occassional driver and be covered as such?

Most insurance companies require that you include all household members including any children away from home or at college that may operate your vehicle. Coverage is usually extended to any other person using your insured car with your express or implied permission to do so. However, it usually does not inlcude any relative not listed on the application or policy. You should check with your insurance company to determine what their specific guidelines are regarding your situation.
