Can I Add A Car To My Insurance That Is Not In My Name?
1805 POINTSview profileSamuel SmithEnrolled Agent-licensed to practice before the IRS, Samuel N Smith, EA, South CarolinaHow can you add a car that is not in your name, a car that clearly you are not a designated driver, you have no financial interest, and that you seemingly would be assisting someone to violate the insurance laws of your State. If you understand the "liability" you are assuming, assuming the insurance company would be so careless, the next question the insurance company better be asking themselves if you have the integrity expected of a person they want to insure.Answered on November 29, 2013flag this answer

Make sure you include all insurable interests on your policy - lessor as additional named insured for liability and named as loss payee for physical damage. If the vehickle is titled to another individual, many states allow you to obtain a signed authorization (a DMV form) in which the titled owner authorizes you to register and insure the vehicle. Again, make sure you can list the titled owner as an additional insured for liability and as a loss payee (along with any lienholder currently on the vehicle). Make suire your state's DMV will allow you to do what you want to do as far as the registration goes and then find as carrier that will underwrite the situation. A good agent or broker can assist you or you can act as your own broker and obtain insurance online. If you act as your own broker, good luck.Answered on June 13, 2014flag this answer
