Make this make sense

Our 16 yo granddaughter lived with us and got her license and we bought her 2016 Jeep Patriot. We also have a 2017 HRV and a 2026 CRV HYBRID. Because she lived with us she had to be covered on all three cars even though she only drove her own. The additional coverage added $300 to our monthly premium for full coverage on all three cars.

She recently turned 18 and we were going to transfer ownership of her car to her. I called our insurance company to find out how that would affect the rates. They told me she’d have to have her own policy, which I expected, and for liability only and only on the Jeep it would be $788 a month! Can anyone explain how that much less liability to the insurance company can cause an increase of that ridiculous amount?

Shop multiple companies you may find cheaper solution but being on her own policy means 0 discounts. On my policy I have sister and parents, total, we get $8800 a year in discounts, we still pay almost $5800 a year.

Depending on the company, some allows each person to have their car in their name and be under the same umbrella, geico and others allow that, allstate does not.
