If you drive in TN, state law requires you to buy auto insurance. But what if your college student goes to school out of state? Our team at Tackett Insurance Inc. is happy to discuss your insurance options.  

What About Auto Insurance for Out-of-State College Students?

If you have a child who will be going to college in a different state, you may wonder how this will affect their auto insurance. First, check with the school. Some colleges don’t allow freshmen to drive their cars on campus. However, you shouldn’t assume this means your child will no longer need auto insurance, since they may decide to drive a car when they come home to visit.

Ask the officials at your child’s school about state laws regarding auto insurance. If your child is covered by your car insurance policy, and they are driving a car that causes an accident, you could be held liable for any damages or medical bills from the other driver. Many parents decide their child doesn’t need to use a car while at college, but they might drive a friend’s car while at school. Make sure you understand your responsibility for your child’s driving activities while at college.
