In terms of the lender, probably not.

If the car is financed, the buyer/owner has the contract with the creditor. The creditor requires collision and comprehensive coverage for THEIR vehicle which they finance. They do NOT have any relationship with any other person but the person named on the vehicle loan.

An insurance policy is only issued when the 'policyholder' has a financial interest in the item for which they are requesting insurance. If you apply for an auto policy to cover the newly purchased vehicle, the insurance carrier will likely deny coverage.

If you do not own the car, chances are you do not garage the car at your address of record. This is sometimes acceptable, such as when a child goes off to college, with an insured auto. However, if you simply lend your vehicle to 'John Smith' with no specified ending time/date, this is more than occasional use and the carrier would likely deny any claim arising out of an accident John Smith may have.

Additionally, the terms of an insurance policy are accepted by the buyer of the insurance, by signing and dating the policy application and likely another document upon issuance of a policy. If you have no financial interest in the insured item (a car in this case) you have no insurable interest.

What is forced mortgage insurance?

Force Placed Insurance is coverage obtained by the lien holder to cover their interest in the financed property when the buyer fails to meet the required coverage conditions of the finance note. No coverage is provided to the buyer at all, only the lien holder. Basically if the finance company has obtained force placed insurance coverage then the buyer is already in default on the terms of the finance contract. The cost of the coverage is added to your bill or finance note without benefit of coverage to the buyer.

If the value of the car is less than what you owe you are stuck with the balance as far as gap coverage goes you will have to check with your insurance company they're all different
