Can you get car insurance on a vehicle you don't own in Ohio?
My parents own the car I drive. I want to insure it on my own policy. Is this allowed?

“The answer is most likely no. Most insurance companies require “”insurable interest”” on a vehicle to cover it. This means that you must have some ownership in the vehicle.
Car insurance
carriers also typically require that the registered owner of the vehicle be listed as the named insured on a policy, and any other drivers be listed as additional drivers.If you do ever get into an accident or need to file a claim, insurance companies can deny your coverage as you are not the registered owner.
You could get a
non-owner car insurance
policy. This would give you coverage while driving a vehicle owned by someone else. You could also have the title transferred to your name, which would allow you to register the vehicle and claim ownership.
