Can gap insurance cover someone with a learner's permit in Illinois?
We are buying my son a new car and he only has his learner's permit. If we add him to our policy, will he be covered for gap insurance as well?

When you add a driver to your
car insurance
policy, any coverage on the policy applies to them, including the state's minimum requirements
and gap insurance
. Even though your son only has a
learner’s permit
, he will still be covered by your Illinois car insurance
policy. The vehicle he is driving will also need to be on the policy for the gap insurance to apply. View full answer
