How long does it take to add a driver to an insurance policy?
Okay, so I got my license but my dad says I can’t drive the car because he needs to put me on the insurance. So how long does this part take?

In most cases, it only takes a moment to add a new driver to an insurance policy. After providing the necessary information, the
car insurance
company should be able to add you right away.Your dad will need to provide information, including your:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Driver’s license number
It seems that he might be a little hesitant to add you to the policy. This usually happens because people believe that it will be very expensive.
Keep in mind: You can help keep the cost down by taking a driver training course and keeping your grades up if your provider offers a good student discount. And of course, a
clean driving record
will help you secure the best possible rate for your situation.You should also tell your dad about the
Jerry
app. He can get multiple quotes in seconds so that he has a better idea of what his new insurance rate is going to look like.View full answer
