Q&A: How does auto insurance work when you “loan” your car to another?
Question by Irv S: How does auto insurance work when you “loan” your car to another?
I have been thinking of “loaning” my car (which I own) to my 87 year old father. I would then lease a vehicle for myself. Then at the end of the lease period (let’s say 3 years) if he is no longer driving, the car returns to me. Can he purchase auto insurance on himself and the car or does it fall upon me and my policy? My father has an excellent driving record and so do I.

He would need to get his own insurance for the car, or to be added onto your policy as a driver.
Either one would work, but it might be cheaper (and easier) to add him to your existing policy.
Your coverage (in most cases) would not pay for any damage done to or done by the car while Dad is driving.
