The Kansas Insurance Department says...

If your teenagers don't own cars, name them on your policy as occasional operators of your least expensive cars. They may be named as an occasional driver if they don't drive to and from school or work. If they do own cars, cover them under your policy. This would also qualify you for a multi-car discount. It is important that you report actual driving habits to the company. It's not uncommon to have juveniles automatically assigned to your most expensive car.
