Tony G asked: "just wondering. my mom has a trailblazer and my dad has a lumina. they already have full coverage. my question is do they have to add my the insurance or since i have my drivers lisence i can start driving. my mom said that im already insured because it already has full coverage is that true or does she have to add me or what???"

Kristi replied: "No, they have to add you to their policy. If they dont and let you drive their car regularly then it is considered insurance fraud"

LB replied: "all drivers in the household have to be separately insured. She needs to call the ins company and tell them you'll be driving the cars."

Chin. replied: "That's right"

bgee2001ca replied: "Take a look at the policy, most policy's will state, no drivers under a certain age, if theirs does, they will have to add you, and pay a premium for you."

sensible_man replied: "I have seen many people on here say that you are automatically covered when your parents have full coverage, including insurance agents. This is not true of all companies. Call your insurance carrier and ask. It is a lot easier than finding out after an accident that you are not covered."

btomaselli replied: "Auto insurance means that a policy is written on a car - not the person. You can be added as a driver to the cars, but you would be covered as a family member either way. Check with your local agent since a few states (TX, NY, etc) have different rules, but even then you would still be covered unless you took it without permission AND they reported it stolen AND pressed charges."

sunny asked: "My insurance called me yesterday and informed me that they would be cancelling my insurance because I have rented my house to a group of students. They gave me two weeks to find new insurance before they cut me off. I'm having trouble finding someone who will insure us. If they cut my insurance, my bank will cancel my mortgage, and I guess that means I'd lose the house. Is this insurance company allowed to drop me in this manner. When we got the insurance two months ago there was nobody living in the house, but it was rental insurance. We never lied or anything, we were completely honest through the whole process."

kako replied: "Yes, it was probably in the fine print. You can find insurance, it will just be more expensive. Later you can find another insurer that is cheaper."

mbrcatz17 replied: "That varies, depending on what state you are in. Yes, renting your home out means it's not an "owner occupied" dwelling any more, so isn't eligible for a homeowners policy. Yes, renting to a group of students is the absolutely highest risk group you can rent to, MOST insurance companies won't insure you. You're going to have to go to a high risk carrier - maybe Lloyds of London. It's going to be a WAY LOT more than it is right now. Your current agent should put this out on the market, and get a couple quotes for you.Anyway, the insurance company has to issue a cancellation notice to you, for material change of risk. They might say a different reason, but they DO have to give a reason. I've never seen a notice time of less than 30 days, but it might be out there. I'd imagine there's no way it can be less than 10, but could be as long as six months.They can also cancel with 10 days notice, because you insured it as a rental, but at the time it was vacant. Check the application - I'm sure one of the questions on it was about occupancy!!"

Ronnie replied: "I would check your policy to see if your insurance company should be void or not.Off hand, however, I see no problem. You can, however, expect to pay a premium on your insurance policy to the norm because it can be interpreted as being rented for commercial use."

Loollea replied: "most insurance companies give 30 day notices of cancellation and they are required to give legal, written notice where do you live now? your agent that writes your homeowner policy should be able to write you a dwelling fire policy without problem"

Steven C replied: "most insurance policies range from 30 to 90 days on a cancellation for non payment. You need to stop and read your policy carefully. If this is a home owners policy there is likely an exclusion for using the house as a business. When you bought the insurance you were probably purchased it through an agent. He didnt care what you told him. all he wanted to do was sale the policy. It's the underwriter that now wants to cancel it. Bottom line. I think that you have two options. 1. Purchase a commercial property insurance policy. (expensive but doable.)2. Search around and find another homeowners insurance policy and buy 1M dollars worth of umbrella coverage. I'd spend my time looking for option two. The minute you ask about an umbrella, agents will be knocking your door down."

Pullay replied: "they can cancel it immediately"

blb replied: "The amount of time that you get is going to depend on the state you are in. Every state has a different rule about this. In most states, if there is a material change in risk they can cancel. Since this was written on a homeowners policy, you need to contact the agent and ask them to rewrite it to a dwelling fire policy. A homeowners policy is for an owner occupied house and a dwelling fire policy is for a tenant occupied house. The coverage under a dwelling fire is not as good as a homeowners policy. Your agent should be able to help you with all of this."

darcilynn83 replied: "It depends what type of policy you got in the beginning..did you have a vacant renters policy? or a DP-3 policy? did you tell them no one was living in the home? normally it is 30 days notice. Your mortgage company can put "force place coverage insurance" on your home before you lose it if you cannot find another company. If any of the underwriting reasons have changed they can cancel the policy. I just had a policy cancel that I was working on because they failed to let us know they owned a German Shephard. Insurance companies have stupid reasons, but they have their own reasoning behind it. I would still say you have a 30 day notice though. Call your current agent and see if there is another policy that can be written.I live in FL, not sure if all this applies to you."

2insure4less replied: "Every company has a diferent policy. Look inside your insurance contract to see the exact period."

John replied: "Yes, the insurance company can cancel your policy by the underwriting reason. Homeowners policy is for owner living dwelling coverage. Usually the insurance company gives 30 days notice for any cancellationSince the house is now occupied by the tenant, you have to get the Dwelling & Fire insurance instead of Homeowner Policy.If you still need your dwelling & fire w/ liability or not, check the following site:Once you submit your info, several agents from your local area will contact you with their best quotes for your attention.If you don't have a dwelling & fire insurance for your house, the mortgage company will force their policy. I've seen that the forced premium was five times higher than a normal dwelling premium you may find thru the local agent.Good Luck!"

eventplanner14 asked: "I am interested in starting my own business from home as an event planner (no employees, just me). However, I am unsure about the insurance aspect of things. I will possibly be organising events for a large company and they have told me that I am required to take out Public & Products Liability insurance and Personal Accident cover before I can start working on any of their events. Will the Personal Accident insurance cover my hospital bills if I injure myself? If not, what insurance does? Could you please advise what type of insurance is required for a home-based event planner.If there are any event planners out there could you please let me know what insurance you have?? Thanks!"

hirebookkeeper replied: "Call an insurance agent. They will know what insurance you need and how much it will cost. The insurance is to cover the people and items at the events you coordinate, not you personally."

fgeel asked: "My understanding is that when you get a moving violation (e.g, a speeding ticket), the police or the courts or whoever will notify your insurance company. When your insurance company finds out and finds out about the points that are now on your license, they raise your insurance premium. However, a friend tells me that he's received several speeding tickets, that his insurance company has never found out (meaning no one is notifying his insurance company), and that his premium has therefore never gone up. How is that possible?"

craig m replied: "hes got to be lying or had lawyer take his tickets to court and won!tickets are sent to the states motor vechicle division, thats how they find out about your tickets!TC GL :-)"

tonalc1 replied: "If you go to traffic school, the violation is not reported to the insurance company. Your friend probably went to traffic school."

tina replied: "when i got 2 speeding tickets within the same month, my insurance did not increase until a year later! for some reason that was the only time my bill was more, it went down after thati dont know why they waited so long and how long it should increase your insurance, but it suppose to happen to anyone with a moving violation"

Sue replied: "The courts nor the police notify your insurance company. Insurance companies ask the DMV for copies of driving histories. Some companies pull motor vehicle records every renewal (6 months or a year). Some companies pull it every 2 or 3 years. Sometimes they only pull records when there is a young driver or claims on the policy. It all depends on the company. Some companies are not filed with the state to charge for tickets, some are. It all depends. Sometimes if there are too many speeding tickets, the company will just nonrenew the policy. Meaning, they will stop insuring the person on the renewal date."

Miss Meli replied: "Great question!Insurance companies use two reports: the CLUE and the MVR. Most companies, mine included, only rerun those reports on existing policyholders at the annual renewals. This is why in some cases, you won't have a violation show up until a year or so later! No, the police don't actually contact the insurance companies and tell us anything, so don't worry about that. We have to do the looking ourselves.. insurance companies actually have to pay the DMV for that information, so they aren't exactly going to be calling us up and giving it to us for free. ;) Yes, it is possible to have violations without them raising the premium. It's not something you want to bank on. If for some reason the insurance company doesn't rerun your reports at that annual renewal, they won't find out about them. I have, at times, come across long-term customers of my company that went four years or so without running their driving history, so I definitely know that it can happen! Only downside is that when they pick up on their err, they do have the right to go through and charge you for them at that point."

D.L. replied: "Nobody notifies your insurance company, whoever told you that is full of sh*t... When your policy comes up for renewal, the insurance company is supposed to run your MVR (motor veh record) thru the DMV, and that is how they find out. They have a program, where they run your DL#, and it tells of any violations within the last six months, or so... So if they find one, they usally raise it about I dk 5-10percent usally 10-25 bucks, depending on severity of ticket... This will stay on your rates for at 3 years..."

Members of the Internet community, I call to your attention today the plight of a young woman facing a life-ending disease that her insurance company, Aetna, is refusing to cover.

This is a request for people affected by the Supreme Courts ruling on ERISA plan admins and how they have to now pay the claims. I've been protesting Aetna on my blogsite: http://karlreidartist.wordpress.comI've already posted mine. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/OnCall/story?id=3433792

This is a great site for uninsured and insured residents of Ohio. I found it to be very easy to use. I can compare plans and rates side by side after putting in my zip code. I liked an aetna plan so I clicked apply and had a choice of either downloading an application or applying online. I saved $200 per month It worked out great
