Am I covered by my insurance when I drive my neighbor’s car?
"I have New Jersey Manufacturers (NJM) insurance for my car, but I often drive my neighbor's car as well. Am I still covered?
"

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“In most instances, you would be covered under your neighbor’s policy as long as you have permission to drive the car. Insurance follows the vehicle, so the
liability coverage
would protect you as a driver. However, it would be best to have yourself added as a driver to your neighbor’s policy if you operate the vehicle fairly frequently.If your concern is about the neighbor’s policy, it is best to ensure that the vehicle is properly registered and insured before you operate it again. Make sure their policy doesn’t have any exclusions for unlisted drivers.
Check with your agent for specifics on the circumstances in which your policy would apply.”
