TX residents with college students in other states

<p>Our insurance agent says to get a "college student living away from home" discount, the student needs to be going to college in TX. What is your experience? I'm trying to determine whether this is a TX law or just a policy with our particular agent. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I assume this is on your auto insurance? Our D is at a private DC college and we received a discount on auto insurance. We just had to provide proof of her enrollment and that we have no other driver for her car (it’s just sitting in the driveway). We have State Farm Insurance and are TX residents.</p>

<p>Oh - thanks for the reminder…need to have DH check on this! We are in TX but DS#1 is OOS.</p>

<p>Thanks megpmom - yes for our auto. D doesn’t even have a car.</p>

<p>ETA I just heard back from our agent - this is a Farmers thing, I thought it might be something quirky with the state of TX.</p>

<p>Guess I’ll be shopping our insurance soon.</p>

<p>We got a discount. Texas res w/ds OOS. State Farm. The only thing we were told was that he had to be 150 miles away. I think Minnesota qualifies. ;)</p>

<p>Ditto, though our insurance is not through State Farm.</p>

<p>We are in Texas and get the discount through GEICO. Our D is in college in South Carolina.</p>

<p>Thanks everybody!</p>

<p>The moral of the story is, if you live in TX and have a student at an OOS school, go with somebody other than Farmers. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I’m meeting with a State Farm agent Thursday afternoon. :)</p>
