“Add your cousin to your
car insurance
is a great idea since your cousin will be driving your vehicle regularly for an extended period.
The cost to add your cousin to your policy will depend on several factors. Your insurance company will look at your cousin’s age and driving record. If they have a
clean driving record
and are an experienced driver, your rate shouldn’t increase significantly.
If they don’t have a great driving record or are younger, your insurance company may consider them a higher risk. Adding them may increase your rate more significantly as a result.
However, you’ll need to get a quote from your car insurance company to determine the exact cost of adding them. With your cousin’s name, date of birth, and driver’s license number, your insurance company can add them to your policy and give you a rate.
If your rate does increase significantly, you can always look into other companies. You can request quotes online or use
