It would be cheaper for your dad to ad to his plan and you pay him. I am 24, and my car is still in my parents name for insurance purposes. With just about anything its cheaper (and sometimes easier) to do it as a group. We do this with our insurance and cell phones are two main things that come to mind. Our family has 5 boys 17,20,24,28,32, the first 4 all share a family plan for phones (like 200 bucks for unlimted everything, data plan for blackberry etc) ~ $50 a person, my plan for myself would be over $100.
So even if (especially if!) you are paying, its worth it. Either way, you would need to be a listed driver. Depending on what he drives, this may hurt you. Adding my little bother (17) made insurance skyrocket, not just because of his age, but because he is on the same policy with a new BMW and Volvo.
