The Driveway
01Lender and lease requirementsIf a lender or a leasing company owns part of the car, it will usually set minimum insurance terms. These appear in the contract, and they are worth reading before you sign.02Buying from a private sellerBuying a car from a private seller is different from a dealership because nobody hands you a folder. The insurance step is yours to remember.03Rental cars and car sharingWhen you borrow or rent a car, it is not obvious whose insurance applies. The answer depends on your policy, the rental terms and the card you pay with.
