Reader’s Question:

What constitutes a Principal or Primary Driver on a vehicle in Meridian, MS? Our son turned sixteen today and we added him to our insurance coverage on a car. He will be driving this car mostly, but my husband and I also drive the car and we own it.

Generally a principal or primary driver is the individual who drives the vehicle a majority of the time. So if your son is the person who will be doing most of the driving for that one particular car he will be determined to be the principal driver of it.

If someone drives the vehicle much more often than the insurance policy owner, he or she should be listed as the primary driver of the vehicle in Meridian, MS. The primary driver in large part determines the insurance premium rate, and providing false information can give the insurance carrier a reason for cancellation or denial of car insurance claim.

Insurance providers can vary on their definition for primary, secondary, principal or occasional driver though. Because to this, you will need to speak what a primary driver means to your specific insurance company.
