Do you need insurance for a car you co-own if the owner does not have insurance?

All states require that you carry a minimum amount of liability insurance to satisfy the financial responsibility laws of the state. Depending on the state where your co-owned vehicle is registered, the minimum limits of liability will vary. With advanced DMV systems, most states are electronically notified by your insurance company that you have carried continuous auto insurance. If you, or the primary owner of the vehicle are not carrying insurance your vehicle registration could be suspended. To prevent this, you must bind coverage and request the insurance company to electronically notify the state DMV. All registered vehicles in all states are required to have insurance. Even if you are listed as the co-owner, you have a legal responsibility to carry insurance. While the other owner may not have to be listed on the insurance, you will need to insure the vehicle in question under either your name, or both of your names as named insured.
