Most likely you lost your multi-driver discount.
A spouse driver of similar age and clean driving record often adds less than 1 to 3 percent to your premium. Multi-driver and Multi-car discounts can often add up to 3 to 5 or even 10 percent discount.
It could also be that your insurer inadvertent re-rated you as single if no spouse is listed.
I suggest you call your insurance agent and discuss it with them.

Do parents have to pay more for car insurance if they add their child to the policy?
Yes, I do think that insurance companies will raise the cost of insurance, because you are a teenager(well that's what I'm guessing). But, it may go up even higher when you get your driver's license because you would be able to drive by yourself most of the time without a parent. And insurance statistics confirm that teenagers drive fast, wreckless, and less-experienced. So the good has to suffer because of the bad. So to answer your question, the rates will most likely go up, but not as much as if you were on your own insurance.
