If the title is in your name, it is your car. A title is the ownership document for a car as the deed is for a home. ----------------------------------------- Unfortunately, what you're doing is illegal. If they purchased the car but the insurance and title are in your name, then you are commiting insurance fraud. If you try to "repossess" the vehicle, they CAN sue you for the return of their money. There is probably a long trail of payments that they made for the car - to you or to the dealer, insurance, mechanics, etc. If your insurance company gets any information about this lawsuit, then they have the right to cancel your policy. It will also look very unfavorable when you try to obtain insurance in the future. If you have been paying for the car, without any assistance from the other person, then it is technically yours. In this case, you would have been allowing an unlicensed driver to "borrow" your vehicle. (Also not favorable if your insurance company is informed of this.) You may be better off signing the car over to this person and canceling your insurance. If you decide to do this, it is extremely important that they give you the license plates in return. You would then submit the necassary form (usually signed by both parties) and the plates at your local DMV.

How long do you have to get insurance from the day you first get your license?

You don't need to get insurance just because you got your license; it's not directly connected like that. If you have a valid license, and don't own a car, you could drive someone elses car that is insured by them. BUT you do need insurance to register a car and be legal. You would want insurance the day you buy and register a car.
