Do insurance companies charge money to add an additional interest?

I forgot to add my lienholder to my policy. Will adding them now increase my policy premium?

“You can still add your lien holder or additional interests to your policy, even if you forgot initially! While it’s uncommon, if your insurance carrier does charge a fee, it’s typically around $3 to $10.
The fee is usually added to your monthly payments, so you won’t see a noticeable difference in your policy premium.
That said, your coverage could increase your policy premium. If you currently only have
liability car insurance
on your policy, you will likely have to add full coverage.
Adding both
comprehensive insurance
and
collision insurance
to your policy will increase your premium. Reach out to your carrier to get a quote.
If the increase is significant, you can always shop around. You can do this online or use an app like
