Yes, if he is the owner and has another driver he can name as primary.

That said, most insurers will insure only licensed drivers and will require documentation of licensure at the time of application and of issuance of the policy.

If this unlicensed driver was driving your car with your knowledge, you are screwed.

The insurance will make the check to the leinholder and they will give you any excess or expect you to make up any shortage to pay off the loan. In some cases, if you did give permission for the uninsured driver, your insurance company will pay for the loss but make you sign an exclusion stating that the driver will not be covered in the future for any reason. You would be liable for full cost if it happens again. You can also expect a spike in your rates if they reside with you.
