You are both responsible. You are responsible because you are the owner and you should make sure that anyone who drivers your car is legal. Also the person who drove without a license is responsible because they didnt have a license which is illegal, and they dont have insurance, which is illegal. You may be the person they go after and you may find yourself having to sue the other person.
Answer
Your policy will probably not cover the event. Check in with your insurance agent.

Whose insurance is responsible for damages on a loaner car from a car dealership?
Until an expert car rental agent, or an insurance expert can improve the following answer, it will have to be from the standpoint of a layman who occasionally rent vehicles. When you sign a rental contract, you agree to be responsible for any and all damages to the rented vehicle. As I have always had insurance on my vehicles, it will pay for losses for which I am responsible, but only if there is no other insurance in force. In the event that someone else is legally responsible for the damage to the loaner car, then it may be that with luck, they are insured, and their insurance carrier will pay for the damage. BUT, if they don't, the rental agency will continue to hold you personally responsibe.

Who's auto insurance is responsible for medical if the other driver does not have insurance?
This is a no brainer ... if the other driver has no insurance, how possibly could their non-existent insurance be responsible for medical? The only recourse here is to take the other driver to court and sue for damages. Chances are you will still get nothing - most likely if someone cannot afford auto insurance, they certainly could not afford any out of pocket medical expenses. This is why most motorists have to carry under-insured and un-insured auto insurance on their policies ... for your own protection.

What kind of insurance pays to fix damages that you cause but does not cover your own car?
If you were driving someone else's car with their knowledge and consent, and were named as an additional insured or otherwise covered under the policy, that liability coverage is likely to pay. If you neither had permission nor were an additional insured (by being named on the policy or because of a relationship to the named insured), you probably would not be covered. As a practical matter, if the damages were relatively minor, the insurer may make a business decision to pay the claim. Otherwise, it would issue a "reservation of rights" to the named insured stating that it was not going to cover the claim.

Can you say anything in court after receiving your second no insurance ticket to reduce loss of license?
I would say you cannot say anything and should loose your license. I don't want you hitting me or my family and then have no insurance even to pay for our damages. I hope you realize that if you do hit someone without insurance you will be responsible for damages out of your pocket and in most states that requries an automatic loss of your license for a specific time limit plus your license cannot be reinstated until you repay all damages, expenses, and interest to the other party or their insurance company if they received payment from their carrier. Insurance companies will and do come after uninsured drivers who cause loss to their clients. If you are not responsible enough or for any other reason let you insurance cancel, do not drive. It's simple. As a matter of full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency for the past 22 years and worked as an agent for direct writers for 3 years prior to that.
