Preparing for College
Now that your son or daughter is off to college, it’s a good time to review their auto insurance coverage. E&L Vice President Pat Long advises that students with good academic records – in college or high school – can qualify for special premium discounts. To start, simply submit a copy of their grades or transcript to your E&L customer service representative. They’ll advise if your family qualifies.
If the school your child is attending and residing at is more than 100 miles away and the vehicle is remaining at home, your auto company may have an “Away at School” endorsement.
Important! If your son or daughter is taking a vehicle to college with them, we need to change the garaging to either the town/city in state or to an “out-of-state” territory. This is an increase in premium. However, if not endorsed, it can put a claim at risk of not being covered.
