will an auto be covered if the auto is in someoneelses name?

Answer 1

The liability coverage and other coverage is on the car, not the owner, so yes the car is covered. If the friend is borrowing the car on occasion then they do not need to contact the insurance company. If the friend regularly borrows or drives the car then the insurance company needs to know so they can be added to the policy even if it does not mean an increase in costs or rates.

Good Luck!
