There is a popular myth that car insurance attaches to the driver. However, in most cases, insurance will follow the vehicle as long as the owner of the vehicle has coverage. In the event of a collision, the primary coverage of the owner’s car insurance would apply. The driver’s insurance would serve as a backup plan if necessary. Remember that insurance matters are typically covered by state law, so check with your local regulations to learn more.
