We often receive emails asking specific insurance-related questions. Here are some of the most common questions, with responses provided by the Principal Broker at KTX Insurance Solutions, a licensed insurance representative featured through the Kanetix® quote comparison service.
Am I permitted to purchase auto insurance on a vehicle which I don't own?
No. Auto insurance policies must be purchased by and listed under the registered owner of the vehicle. However, the primary driver of the car does not need to be the person who owns it. In fact, it's possible to have a policy where the person who owns the vehicle isn't even listed as a driver (typically because they are not able, or allowed, to drive it because they do not have a valid licence).
