How do you get insurance for someone else on a car whose title is in your name?

1. Determine the type of insurance coverage you need. The most common types of insurance coverage are liability, comprehensive, and collision. Liability insurance covers damage or injuries caused to others by the insured driver. Comprehensive insurance covers damage to the insured vehicle from theft, vandalism, or natural disasters. Collision insurance covers damage to the insured vehicle from accidents.

2. Contact your insurance company. Once you know what type of coverage you need, you can contact your insurance company to add the other person to your policy. You will need to provide the person's name, date of birth, driver's license number, and vehicle information.

3. Pay the premium. The premium is the amount you pay for your insurance coverage. The premium for adding an additional driver to your policy will vary depending on the person's driving history and the type of coverage you select.

4. Provide proof of insurance. When you add someone else to your policy, you will need to provide proof of insurance to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The proof of insurance can be obtained from your insurance company.

Here are some additional tips for getting insurance for someone else on a car whose title is in your name:

* Make sure the person you are adding to your policy is a legally licensed driver.

* Check the person's driving record to make sure they have a good driving history.

* Consider the person's age and experience when choosing the type of coverage you need.

* Compare quotes from different insurance companies before you make a decision.
