Title, registration and insurance must match.....if there is a total loss and names dont match, the insurance co can and may deny your claim.

I work for an insurance co and i have never given anyone insurance if the car wasnt registered in their name.

she is the registered owner and the bank is the lien holder
You can be added to her policy as 2nd driver but until the bank is paid they wont allow a change like you want

SHE is not the owner of the car- the LIENholder is the BANK
they own the car- all she can be is registered owner
CALL dmv and ask-

you might have to check your local state laws. As because my TL is register under my name and insured under my mother policy. Then of course you need to add her as an extra driver in the policy just to cover your butt!

I don't mind adding her, even though she doesn't know how to drive.

I was looking at the DMV site and you can do joint registration.

forget the joint registration, just call the insurance company and tell them you need to add a vechile. All they asking for state register in, VIN # plate #, also add her as a driver if she has license of course.

Who is your carrier.

According to DMV in NY.. the registrant and the policy holders names must match. However the owner and the registrant dont need to match.

That is right! For example, the owner can be a corporation, the registrant an officer of the corporation and name-insured on the insurance policy.

Also, to set the record straight, the bank is only a lienholder and NOT the owner of the car, with the car being the collateral for the loan. It becomes an unwilling owner after you default on car payment, the bank then gets a judgment against you, execute on the judgment, have the sheriff seize you car, auction off the car, and buy the car at auction. It is a loooong process before the bank becomes the owner.

Let me explain the my situation little better.
I have a Lien holder. But cars registration is under my name Joe doe.
Nationwide policy is under mother, Mrs Joe Doe.
Under Mother's pilicy is my Car VIN XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX01
You should have no problem putting HER car under your insurance policy.
Hope all is clear now

Insurance company don't car who's car it's as long as you give then your money. Lien holder don't care under who's policy it's as long as they get to see a declaration page from the insurance company saying that VIN # xxxxxxxxxxxxxx01 is being cover full whatever coverage their minimum are.

Progressive insures permit drivers. It is the drivers responisbility to ensure that they have a license driver in the car with them.

I have my Tl for almost a year now and almost going into my third policy, when I bought TL... at them moment i only had my permit.. I know .. 28 and dint have my license.... we insured it with both permits and a month later i updated my record once I got my License.

Lienholder - the bank- is the legal owner of the car- you make the payments so they let you drive it
You dont make the payments- they repo the car and sell it for what they can- and you still owe the balance of the loan differance

You dont own the car until the title is in your name- until then its the banks!
Why not just get your girl licensed

Don't confuse financing the car with leasing the car. When you finance, you take out a loan with the bank, which is a secured party that files a U.C.C. with the recording authorities to record its lien. You purchase car insurance so that if and when you crash the car, the insurance company pays the bank. Therefore, you are the owner of the car, and the bank only has a security interest or lien on the car. Ask any lawyer or financing institution and they will give you the SAME answer. Now, if you lease your car, the leasing company is the owner or lessor and you are just a lessee, because at the end of the lease term, you must return the car to the lessor or owner. Just as if you rent an apartment and at the end of the lease term, your landlord may not renew your lease and ask to move out!
