What Is a Principal Driver?

A principal driver is the person who drives the car most often. The driving record of the principal driver will affect the car insurance premium. Your car insurance policy will typically cover all of the people in your household and multiple vehicles. However, the person who drives a vehicle most often is defined as the “principal driver” for that vehicle. Additional persons covered by your policy would be considered occasional drivers of that vehicle. You can also exclude a person from driving your vehicles and have them listed as excluded drivers on your policy.
