They don't pause or cancel it, but they do reduce the rate.

As long as they don't have a car at college.

Just did this with Geico - reduced my monthly rate from $445 to around $245 ....wish I had done it last year!

We have All State and removed DS from the policy when left for school. Add him back in when home for winter break and remove once heads back to school in Jan.

You’ll need to contact a local agent for your insurance company and give them the specifics. People posting here can only tell you their insurance company’s policy for their home state.

Our insurance has the college kid away program. It was a decent discount.

We do t do anything for the kid 2,000 miles away at college. The discount is negligible.

It varies by insurance company. Call yours and ask their policy. At our insurance company, they can only be on our policy while still living at our residence.

We had to get our adult kid their own policy. We live in different states so she was no longer covered under ours.

You dont cancel but you call your insurance company and tell them they are away at college. It will drop, but not all the way, because they know your high-risk kid (all college students are in this category) will likely drive on breaks. You can get a good-grade discount, so make sure you apply for that (in HS and through college)

Our policy was cut in half

USAA just told us we can only keep him on our policy if he is a dependent.

We have USAA and our car insurance has been declining every year since our first went to college (from quite high rates with two driver in HS).

You are required to keep them on the policy unless you can prove they have their own separately, but you get a discount if they are at least 100 miles away

I can only assume you also get discounts as they get older as well and maybe there are step discounts when they turn 18, 21 et al
