Yes What we're trying to do is have my boyfriend drive my NJ car to California and I will fly out later on (about 2 months). In the meantime, the car is in my name, I pay the payments on it, and it is insured with a NJ-based insurance company. I did not contact my insurance agent to let him know I was doing this yet, just thought that insurance covers a car, not a person. But recently I found out maybe I'm wrong. So now, we're trying to get the car insured but my boyfriend's insurer, State Farm doesn't cover NJ-registered cars. What can we do now?

If you are the owner of a car can it be registered to someone else in one state but insured by you in another state or can the registrant insure it in a different state?

The owner of the car has to register the vehicle. The person on the registration must insure the vehicle, or be listed to drive that vehicle on a family policy. That example sounds close to insurance fraud so please correct the situation. Sell the car to the other person and they have to insure it. Actually it is 100% legal for a person to insure a vehicle registered in someone elses name so long as nothing illegal is going on...it can be the parents etc.....

You will insure the cars based on where they are driven the most. If you drive more in one state, insure the car there.


Can you insure a car in a different state that is registered in a different state?

No. The Insurance Policy must reflect the garaging address in the very State in which the vehicle is licensed for road use. However, once insured in one State, for example, Arkansas, the vehicle is covered to drive any where in the United States of America. There are certain companies that will allow drivers to be listed on policies with out of State Drivers License.

Perhaps for liability only but not for Comprehensive and Collision Coverage. It also depends on the state you are in and whether or not the Department of Public Safety allows such to be registered.
