Can an insurance company deny a finance company payoff on a vehicle that has been total by a driver that is not on the insurance policy?
All regular and occasional drivers are required to be listed on your policy. All vehicle owners are required to be dosclosed. Concealment of vehicle owners or permitted drivers on an auto policy is the most common form of Auto Insurance fraud. If the company can determine it, They can deny any and all claims based on the fraudulently obtained policy.
AnswerThe answer to your question comes in two separate parts. First, it's important to understand that in general, anybody whom you have given permission to drive a car on your policy is covered by your insurance. This is regardless of their relationship to you and regardless of whether or not they live in your household.
With that said, you must also understand that nearly every auto insurance policy covers losses on an actual cash value basis. This means that there is a deduction for depreciation and/or use of the car...e.g. - The older a car is the less it is worth. (Unfortunately, even a brand-new car is never quite worth what somebody has paid a dealership for it. This often results in being "upside down" on your car note because you owe more than what it's worth.)
The bottom line is that when a person is upside down on their car note, if the car gets totalled in an accident, the insurance company only has to pay what the car is worth, not what you owe somebody for the car.

If a speeding citaton is given with company insurance info instead of personal whose insurance and record is affected?
When a speeding citation is given, it is given to the driver... not the owner of the vehicle nor the person (or company) who is insuring the vehicle. Therefore, the driver's insurance and driving record will reflect the charge. If this person was driving a company vehicle (and therefore insurance paid by the company) then the companies insurance policy COULD be affected but not always. The cost of corporate insurance policies that cover multiple vehicle and/or drivers are determined by many factors such as # of vehicles, types of vehicles, company claim history, # of drivers and ages there of. Most companies must report their drivers information to the insurance company which will then check the drivers records which will then allow the insurance company to 'rate that driver' and asses a cost for insuring that driver. Some companies will refuse employ drivers with too many moving violations... or not let them drive company vehicles. I hope the answered your question.
