18 Year Old Las Vegas Teen Car Insurance Rates
Reader’s Question:
Hello. I am 18 years old and just obtained my G2 in Las Vegas. I was wondering if I can drive my friend’s car or my parent’s car that is insured without me being insured in?

With your G2 most insurance providers in Las Vegas will require you to be listed to your parent’s insurance policy since you are part of their household and now have more driving responsibilities with fewer restrictions while operating your parent’s cars.
If your parents do not notify the insurance provider in Las Vegas of your G2 licensing status then it is likely that you will not be properly covered if you were to get involved in an accident in your parent’s car. As for driving a friend’s car, the owner of the vehicle is typically responsible for anyone who operates their vehicle with permission so your friend will need to check with their insurance company to verify if you would be covered to drive their vehicle.
Your friend will need to keep in mind that if you are covered by their insurance company and you have an at-fault accident while driving their vehicle, it will go on their insurance record and your friend will get his/her insurance premium affected. Insurance does not follow the motorist; it goes with the vehicle.
