My son recently moved out and is living with his friend. Presently, he is driving his friend’s car. He will be buying first car soon and he’s asking me to have it insured under my name. Is this possible? Also, how can I be assured that I would get cheap automobile insurance in Texas for him?

There are some automobile insurance companies that would allow you to add another car under your policy even if that car does not belong to you. However, the problem here is I am not aware of any auto insurance companies that would allow you to insure another car that belongs to another address.

Normally, if you have another driver under your auto insurance policy and that driver moves out to another place of residence, your automobile insurance company will stop covering the vehicle that person is using. Thus, that driver needs to get his or her own auto insurance policy.

Since you’ve mentioned that at present your son is using his friend’s car, most likely his friend has already added him under his automobile insurance policy.

The best way to do here is to tell your son to get his own automobile insurance policy. He can definitely get cheap auto insurance in Texas by shopping online. There are several websites that offer this kind of service and it’s totally free of charge to get auto insurance quotes. You can start shopping for your son for cheap automobile insurance by entering your son’s zip code on this website.
