What is the name of your state? CA
The car I drive (2001 Toyota Echo) is in my parents name only. But it is "my car." I'm the only driver. They bought it for me because they were tired of paying for repairs on my former jalopies which was a financial nightmare.
They have full coverage for the Echo, but don't I need insurance also? Can a person be insured (auto insurance) if they don't actually "own" a car yet drive one anyway. Isn't it required by law? I can't imagine it's okay for me to drive all day without insurance even though the car itself is insured.
They really don't want it in my name (they haven't offered and I haven't asked) because they make all the payments and prob just don't want to yet until I'm ready to take over payments. (They are doing this for me because I'm getting on my feet after a recent split with my husband, so I'm a "freshly single mother."--code for: broke. Nice parents, huh!)
Who is actually insured...the person or the vehicle?
