You may find yourself exposed to costly personal liability. If you don't have adequate insurance coverage you will be liable to pay for any damages or injury above the limits of your coverage. If the driver doesn't have a valid driver's license your insurance company will refuse to pay for any damage caused by the accident. If you don't have collision coverage you will lose your car and have expense to pay.

In general it is not a good idea to allow someone else to drive your car unless it is absolutely necessary, they are legally allowed to drive and you have full insurance coverage.

What if someone else get a DUI under my auto insurance?

If they were the permissive driver of your vehicle in an accident (and got the dui), your policy will be paying for the damages (subject to any policy exclusions, and assuming the drunk was at fault) Insurance stays with the vehicle. So any rate increase that this accident generates will be on your policy, as well (of course) as your collison deductible. If you are asking what happens if they were just driving your vehicle and got a dui, no accident or loss. I doubt anything will happen. You might want to rethink who you let drive your vehicle though.
