Car Insurance Question Indiana IN

Readers Question:

Hi! My name is Yves and I’m 17. My parents were not around as of the moment, so there’s nobody to ask. Can I get my own car insurance in Indiana too? Thank you.

Hi, Yves! Good thing you were thinking of that at your very young age. I’m impressed! You can make conversation with your parents regarding this matter as soon as they come back home. It’s because they have to accompany you and signs along with you for the policy.

Actually, a 17-year old is not yet considered legally able to contract, but certainly old enough to drive, right?

You may start making calls to local insurance companies in Indiana as early as now and they will tell you what you need to do. But then, you have your parents around, so they might have car insurances too and I guess they will be the ones to take care of this matter.

Sometimes, it truly depends on the states’ law. Some states require the insurer to reach 18 before they get insured. The best thing to do is to contact the state auto insurance bureau to know more of their restrictions regarding the minor that owns and drive a car. Tell them you are about to possess one and you want to know more of their restrictions.

Good luck and welcome to the world of traffic roads!
