Question

How many cars can I list on my State Farm policy?

My wife and I are State Farm customers and have triplets who will all be turning 16 next year. We are likely going to buy the kids one vehicle to share, but we've also tossed around the idea of getting each of them their own used car. If that happens, will we have any issues getting car insurance for the five cars and five drivers, considering we already have two cars and two drivers listed on our current State Farm insurance policy? Is there any limit to the number of vehicles or drivers that you can insure with a company?

Most insurers, including State Farm, cap a single policy at 4 drivers and 4 vehicles. But if your household includes more—like a few teen drivers and multiple cars—don’t worry. It’s common, and there’s a simple solution.

Here’s what usually happens:

  • Second policy issued: If you exceed the limit, your insurer will typically create a second policy.
  • Discounts often apply: The extra policy is usually bundled or discounted, so it’s not like paying for two completely separate plans.
  • Online tools may not support it: If you’re trying to quote 5+ drivers or vehicles, call an agent for a more accurate setup.

Some insurance companies do allow more vehicles on a single policy, but that doesn’t always mean better rates. With teen drivers, it’s a smart time to compare quotes—even if you've been with the same insurer for years.

  • Shop around: Travelers and American Family often have lower rates for families with teen drivers, though it varies by situation.
  • Check your discounts: If you already bundle with State Farm (home, renters, etc.), your total cost might still be competitive.

Bottom line:
Yes, you can cover up to 5 cars—it just might require two policies. If you’re adding , teen drivers, it’s also a great time to review your options and make sure you’re getting the best deal.

In Alabama, does the car insurance follow the driver or the car?

In my experience, it's always the rule that car insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver. So, although the person who hit your daughter wasn't the owner of the vehicle, their car insurance would still apply in this situation. Meaning, your daughter would be contacting their insurance…
