Can I add other drivers to my policy?

My cousin just moved in with me. He drives my vehicle occasionally, so I'd like to add him to my policy. Is this possible? Would my rate change?

“You can always add an additional driver to your
car insurance
policy as long as you’re the named insured, or primary driver. If you are the named insured on your insurance policy, call your insurance company or go online to add your cousin to your policy.
When you add a driver to your policy, your car insurance company will check their driving history and record through a national database. If he doesn’t have a
clean driving record
, this could impact your rate. The insurance company typically changes the rate based on the information they receive, but it varies by your carrier.
You can always request a quote from your car insurance company before officially adding your cousin as an additional driver. Alternatively, you can use the
Jerry
app to compare rates and coverage in just a few minutes, making the addition of your cousin hassle-free.”
