Yes. Normally you have to own a vehicle to insure it. You cannot purchase insurance on a vehicle that you do not own with a few exceptions. The exceptions deal with a family household situation. Vehicles titled to a husband or wife may be insured on the policy of either one and the same thing applies to children living in the home as a car titled in an adult child's name may be added to the insurance policy of the parents.

Will homeowners insurance cover damage to car from a fallen tree?

It depends on whether or not the car carried comprehensive insurance. If it did the auto owner's insurance would cover the tree damage, regardless of the cause. If the car did not have comp. coverage, then the car owner may be able to make a liability claim against the tree owner's homeowners insurance coverage. If the homeowner's insurance denies the claim, the car owner can still seek a civil award against the homeowner's personal assets.


Will auto insurance cover an accident if one is at fault however the driver in the other vehicle is not the owner of that car and is not on that car's insurance policy?

Yes, your auto insurance will payout to the other party involved in the accident. Your auto policy covers "you" from any financial loses. So in retrospect you wont have to pay the damages you caused to the other veichle. Concerning the party that is not the owner nor on the car owners policy, the car owner's auto policy covers the car and any lawful driver aslong as their were no "misrepresentation" on the insurance application/contract. By misrepresentation I mean, at the moment the car owner signed the application and contract he wasto state any material facts that could change the underwriting decision such as premiums. For example, if the car owner has a son who will also drive the car, the car owner is obligated by law to diclose that to the insurance company. In the event that an accident occurs and a "undisclosed driver" was operating the veichle the insurance has 2 options. 1. He can Void the policy/contract and not cover the auto owner. or 2. He can cover the auto owner and payout damages but later sue in a court a law that amount and underpayed premiums for the time the policy was active and the undiclosed driver was operating the car. *Note" In rare cases, an insurance company will cover the "undisclosed driver" aslong as the difference in the premium is paid.
