Can You Buy Insurance For A Car You Don't Own? 
I know of one exception where this is acceptable and only a few insurance carriers will allow this . Lets say for example Daddy buys his daughter a car but the car is registered to Daddy . The daughter goes and purchases her own policy and insures the car that is not in her name . As long as this is the daughters primary car and you disclose the Dad owns the car this may be acceptable . Dad will be listed as either a driver or excluded but the daughter in this case can buy an insurance policy and not own the car . Again everything must be disclosed .
