Driving Other Cars
Most policies cover the policyholder in person while
driving a car which belongs to someone else. However,
cover will be limited to third party only, even if you
have a comprehensive policy. Accidental damage to the
borrowed car will not be covered by your insurance.
Make sure you have the car owner's permission to drive
it and that they have arranged comprehensive insurance
to cover you as a driver under their policy. If they have
done this, then accidental damage claims to their car,
while you are driving, will be met by their policy. Similarly,
before letting someone else drive your car make sure your
policy does not have a restriction on who may drive it.
