In the state of Florida, drivers with only a learner's permit must be on their parent's insurance so that in the event that an accident does occur then they are covered.
The actual driver. Unfortunately, if the driver is your kid, and you're adding your kid to your insurance policy, it could affect your rates.
Yes. In most cases, depending on your insurance company and state, your insurance will go up after an accident, especially if you have a learner's permit.
Absolutely not. A driver with a learner's permit is presumed to be driving with the same caution and, along with his co-driver (ie, the adult next to you), similar experience. Your parents shouldn't see any rate increase in their insurance premiums if, as you say, you weren't at-fault for the accident.
Yes, in most cases they probably would.
Dependant upon WHOM the learner was insured with, who's vehicle he/she was driving, and the legalities such as "was there a licensed driver in the car at the time of accident"? all these things play a role. Contact a lawyer or your broker for a definite answer, but yes, in some instances, the parents can be liable.
A Learner driver insurance is a short term insurance. One can get it from 7 days to 24 weeks, while taking driving lessons. Some of the companies to provide such license are Collingwood and Dawes agencies.
Auto Insurance Required for Learners Permit?Yes, you can. A Drivers or Learners "Permit" is permission to drive and therefore a temporary license with certain restrictions. You can obtain your own auto insurance or you can be covered under someone else's policy such as your parents or the vehicle owners policy, but you must have coverage. If you are a minor and want your own policy, due to the limitations of contract law your parent or legal guardian will need to countersign your insurance application for it to be legally binding.A Drivers Permit comes with all the responsibilities of anyone licensed or not who operates a motor vehicle on public roads, including our financial responsibility. No state provides exemption from Financial Responsibility Laws for minors or permitted drivers.More Information:You can get insurance with a permit.

You must be insured to drive a vehicle no matter what your age or if you have a learner's permit or regular license. You must be covered under a policy.
Yes, it is illegal to drive without car insurance. You may be covered on your family's insurance plan, however, so I would discuss it with them.
Your auto insurance will cover your son while on a lerners permit. Check with your company as some require that he be listed as a driver and you must pay premium while others do not require that he be listed until he gets his regular license. If you insurance is telling you that there is no coverage while he is on the permit then you need a different insurance company.
