Who pays for the damages if your insurance does not cover the person you gave permission to drive your car?

[Edit]

Answer

Depends on which State in which you live. i.e. Florida, File a police report. The driver will then be required by law to purchase s "Named Non Ownership Policy". But that will not help you with repairs. Seems you are S.O.L. unless you can get the person to make restitution. Go to Small Claims Court is a possibility!. Good Luck
