If the car is in your friends name and you are the one buying the insurance it's not a big problem. Just make sure you insure both you and the owner of the vehicle. The owners name must appear as a named insured for property loss purposes otherwise the policy is null and void and no property loss payment could be made.
AnswerThe insurance must be in the same name as the person who owns the vehicle. An insurance policy and application together make up a legal contract. If you insure a vehicle that you do not own and have a claim the insurance company cannot pay you for damages because it is not your car, and they cannot pay the owner of the vehicle because they have no contract of insurance with them. By lying on the application, you have also committed material misrepresentation and insurance fraud and thus the insurance contract is therefore null and void.Wiki User

Does auto insurance policy have to be in the same name as the title owner in Michigan?
Not typically. The insurance is typically in the name of the person to whom the car is registered and this is not always the name shown on the title.
If your the co signer and you drive the vehicle does the person whos name who is actually on the title have to have car insurance on that same vechicle or can the co signer just have it. In Indiana?
Generally, the person whose name is 'actually on the title' must be the same person who insures the car. You must disclose to the insurance company if you are not the owner of the car. You should call the insurance company and ask your question.
