What About Insurance?
Most insurance companies will require that the student be added to the insurance once the license has been obtained. When the student finishes the final driving lesson, we will issue a form that you will send a copy of to your insurance, that contains information they need in order to add the student to your policy. This form may or may not get your student a discount on insurance until they are in their 20's. It is best to contact your insurance company before they take their driving test, for more information.
