Learn more about what could happen to your insurance if someone else drives your car.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Lending your car to a driver who is listed on your policy<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your auto insurance coverage, your auto insurance can cover your vehicle if you plan to let a driver who is listed on your policy borrow it. That being said, if the driver has a car accident, it could impact your insurance premium despite the fact that you were not the driver. Because auto insurance coverage is connected to the vehicle not the driver, your insurer will deal with the claim. But there are exceptions in some provinces, so check with your insurance company.<\/p>\n<h2>Lending your car to a driver who isn\u2019t listed on your policy<\/h2>\n<p>If you are going to lend your vehicle to a driver who won\u2019t be driving your vehicle regularly and won\u2019t be listed on your policy, the unlisted driver must have a valid driver\u2019s licence and be legally allowed to drive.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens if the driver gets into an accident?<\/h2>\n<p>If the person you lend the vehicle to gets into an accident, it may affect your insurance rates. Despite not being in the vehicle at the time, you could still be penalized. In some cases, this can apply even if the driver wasn\u2019t at fault for the accident.<\/p>\n<h2>What to do before lending your car<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Always check that the driver has a valid driver\u2019s licence and that they are legally allowed to drive.<\/li>\n<li>Show the driver where the proof of auto insurance and registration is in your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>For peace of mind, talk to the driver to make sure they understand the responsibilities that comes with borrowing your vehicle.<\/li>\n<li>You can help limit the risk of a potential car accident by inspecting your vehicle to ensure it\u2019s in good working condition and the gas tank is filled up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Need to make a claim?
