Question
My brother form Poland is visiting for three months
He would like to use my car, will he be covered under my
insurance policy if something happens?  

Answer
Hi Chris,

Most likely yes. Your auto insurance policy probably has the omnibus clause in it. This clause insures anyone driving your car as long as they are not excluded from the policy. If your brother is not excluded, then he will likely be covered.

There might be some exclusions about not having a valid driver license. Make sure your brother has a license when he comes over. Some policies do not exclude people without licenses. Check with your agent to make sure you are completely covered.

Good Luck and enjoy his visit.
