“Whether you can be removed from your parents’ insurance will depend on their policy. If you’re away for school and under a certain age, your parents’
car insurance
company may require that you still be listed as a household member. They also may have to list you as a driver.
The same applies if you are still living at home.
Car insurance carriers want to know everyone that lives in a household to determine who may be driving the vehicle. This is to ensure that anyone driving the vehicle is covered if there is an accident.

If you’re still uncomfortable about it, you can try speaking with your parents to see what their options are.”
