Yes. Only a registered owner of a car can get the insurance. The insurance policy document and registration documents of a car both should be in a name of one person. The mismatching of documents leads to legal complications. So it is important to ensure that to get insurance, you have to be the registered owner of a car.
A registered owner is the person who has purchased or is purchasing the vehicle for their own use, while the legal owner would be a lien holder like a bank or other financial institution that actually owns the vehicle until it is paid off.
As long as it takes to either get the car back or to be paid what is owed. The one who defaulted on the car loan is not the owner ... unless one has the clear title to any vehicle, they are not the legal owner ... registered owner, yes, but not the legal one.
The person who's name appears on the title is the legal owner of the vehicle.
No
As long as it is where the registered owner of the vehicle legally resides it is legal.
Who holds the title to this car
The car needs to be registered in the state the owner resides in.
YES (with the owner's permission)
I believe if the car is registered under the owner, they will be notified.
I am now insured on 2 cars as the main driver. My car I am the registered owner and keeper and have 12 years no claims bonus. On the second car I am not the legal owner or registered keeper and as my 12 years are on the other car I have 0 no claims on this one. The insurers are different. What will happen to my 12 years no claims on my car if I have an accident in the car that has 0?
This question will wind up in court if you ask me. The registered name on the title is the owner, period. Anyone else will have a tough time to claim ownership.
