Can I Get Insurance On A Car That Does Not Belong To Me?
135 POINTSview profileCody HughesOwner/CEO, Tristate Insurance, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, KansasYou can't take out the insurance policy yourself. But if you have an 'insurable interest' in the car, IE. you are holding the loan, then you can require the other person to add you as an additional insured. Which just means that in the event of an auto wreck, and the car is totaled, you will get paid what you are owed ( the lien).Answered on September 26, 2014flag this answer

If you are not the owner, and don’t have any other insurable interest, you cannot be named as the insured on the policy. The information about being a loan holder is important. You named to be named on the policy as a lienholder. If you lease the car to someone else than you also need to be named as the additional insured.Answered on September 26, 2014flag this answer

It is rare and unusual but it does exist. I have written these types of polices in the past and can do so today as long as your in California and qualify in accordance with your driving record.Answered on September 26, 2014flag this answer
