Getting your teen driver covered

Because new drivers are still learning, insuring them can be pricey. While your teen gets more comfortable on the road, we’re here to help you get the right discounts, resources and coverage.

When should you add a teen driver?
Add them to your policy as soon as they bring home their learner's permit. That way, your teen is covered while learning to drive, and you’re protected financially in case of an accident.

Add a teen to your USAA auto policy.

If you already have an auto policy with us, getting your teen coverage is a lot easier than handing over your keys to them. Just add them as a driver on your current policy.
