The insurance company does not administer driver's licenses, so the quick answer to your question is no.
The state is the only authority that can demand your son surrender his license.

That does not sound right to me. I suggest getting a lawyer to find out if they can do that. Here, in Canada they can't do that. It is considered a Identification card that he can drive or not. It just states he has pass the driving test to prove he can drive a class 5 vehicle which is a car or regular truck any time, if has a vehicle or works for a company that has a company vehicle which may be part of his job. However, in Edmonton if you are caught communicating for the purpose of prostitutes or for sex you can lose your license, and your vehicle on the spot, and even for drinking and driving too. So it depends where you live and the law applies differently anywhere. You could also check with the Govt. regulation on drivers license to find out you about your situation too. I don't think insurance have the veto power to force you to surrender your license for having no vehicle and no reason. It sounds shady what going on there. Good Luck.

No, they can't do that. Are you sure you understood them right? It would not make sense for him to surrender his license when there's a chance he may need to drive when he comes home, or even if he were out with friends and needed to drive someone home due to them being too drunk to do so. He needs to have a license for those instances, and the insurance company has no right to request he give it up. They cannot exercise control over that. Was this an agent who told you this? That wouldn't surprise me; agents give out a lot of misinformation.

Nope, the only agency who can take his lic is ethier the state of issue or a judge. If they try to make you tell them to show you the law that gives them the right, not the policy of the company but the law. If they continue get with your states insurance board to complain. A business cannot supersede a state law.

They are suggesting he surrenders it, not requiring it. If you are trying to get him off of your policy while he's away at college, then it makes sense that they want proof that he won't be driving via surrendering his license or showing he has permanently moved before they agree to remove him. It is just strict underwriting, but they probably won't remove him unless you prove he won't be driving your vehicles.

Tell them to take a hike, or change ins co. I had the same problem, and they wouldn't stop annoying me, so I simply found another co. to waste money on.
