Reader’s Question:

My daughter had just borrowed my car going out from Jacksonville, Florida together with her friends. Should I inform my car insurance in case they encounter something on the road?

For some reasons, parents don’t usually worry when their children are on their own for the first time. Parents should have to look thoroughly again from their insurance policy if it covers their child especially with their car insurances for there’s a big possibility that they will be borrowing their parents’ car.

In Jacksonville, Florida, when your car is about to go out from the vicinity, you have to inform your insurers that your car will be outbound. Informing your insurance that your insured car will be away might or might not increase your premium. Failing to inform might threaten your next claim. You also have to check if whose property is it. If it is yours, there’s a big possibility that your daughter is also included as another driver in your policy. In case that your daughter will be going far away from your place and not bringing your car though she’s included in your policy then you have a lower premium for the Insurance Company is in thought that your car is not driven by someone who is at high-risk driving. If your daughter is the owner of the car and entitled with her name then she should have her own car insurance. And this will cause your own car insurance to have a lower rate. But your daughter’s premium will be higher for she is considered to be on her own as a high-risk driver.
