I live in York, Pennsylvania and my nephew, who is 19 years old, wants to occasionally drive my vehicle to get to school. He doesn’t live with me. Can I insure him? What happens if he gets in an accident? I have full coverage.

You will need to verify with your insurance carrier to find out if they will permit you to add your nephew as a driver or if he will be covered to drive your vehicle occasionally as the insurance policy currently is written. Since he does not live in your household it will be up to your insurance carrier’s underwriting rules to know if he can be added to your insurance policy in York, Pennsylvania or not.

Your insurance company should also be able to inform you if he would be covered if he was in an accident without being added to the insurance policy. Since your vehicle has full coverage and that you are referring to state mandated liability plus physical damage coverages of comprehensive and collision. So you will want to verify to make certain these coverages will extend to your nephew when he borrows your car to drive to school.
