Depends on the policy and depends what country you're in. In Australia for instance, it's the car that's insured, not the driver. Here in the UK, it's the driver, not the car.

The short answer is, check your policy.How can i get cheaper car insurance?

Of course. Insurance goes with the vehicle, not with the driver. When you loan out your car, your insurance covers. So if your car gets wrecked, his fault, and you have no collision, you're out a car. If he does something (park in a fire zone for example) to get your car towed, you pay the bill for that.

Hi, as you're on a UK site I take it you're in the UK; in which case there's some dangerously wrong advice on here. It is the DRIVER who is insured, not the car.Therefore, your insurance, if it is fully comp, probably allows you to drive another car (not owned by you) with third party cover. It does not cover anyone else to drive your car, unless they have suitable cover of their own.

Can Avis provide me with franchise information?
Your car insurance company will be liable for damages. You will get penalized for it until the person that you lent your car to get their own insurance. Then you have to show your insurance co. proof that the person has their own insurance and the charges will be dropped from your policy.I don't think so, because YOU didn't cause the accident (though I'm happy to be corrected on this). But you'd be guilty of a criminal offence of "allowing a vehicle to be used on a public road without insurance", whether there was an accident or not. You're aiding and abetting a criminal act, in other words.
