  28. When do you notify your insurance company? From the Fall 2003 issue of GEICO DIRECT: Insuring Your Teen Driver.  When should you add them to your policy?  Once teens get their learner's permit, they must be added to your auto insurance policy.  This is to protect you from any possible liabilities in the event your teen has an accident while driving - even while supervised by an adult.
