Can I drive my friend's car on my comprehensive motor insurance policy?
I have fully comprehensive insurance on my car. In this situation can I drive my friend's car without adding my name on his insurance? Will my insurance cover me for that or do I need to inform my friend's insurers and get my name added on to his insurance ??
You need to check your insurance cover as many insurers are now removing this benefit.
Even if you do have it you should be aware that you are only covered on a third party basis in the other vehicle. If you are involved in an accident and it is your fault then you are liable for any damage to his vehicle personally.
Furthermore you are only covered in someone else's car. You cannot insure your own car fully comp and then drive another car registered to you on a third party basis.
