Question
my just bought a car and put it in her name and she was on our policy,so we just added the new car.
but we registered the car at a different address,because she is going to get married in about six months.
now she has had a accident,i am worried that the insurance my not pay for the car now?
can you give me any advice?

Answer
Hi ECS,
You can not insure a car on your policy that you do not own.  You need to immediately talk to your agent and have him meet with your daughter and pur her on her own policy,

I hope that you find this information helpful.
Your feedback by rating my answer will be appreciated.
