No, car insurance does not only protect the vehicle itself. It also provides coverage for damage or injuries caused to others in an accident, as well as legal expenses in case of a lawsuit.

What is gap insurance good for?

If you bought a new vehicle today and then got in an accident tomorrow (you wrote the car off) the insurance company considers the vehicle used the therefore only pays the used vehicle value, on a high end vehicle this would cost you more than $10,000. "Gap" protection is cheap, buy it from your own insurance company to protect your interests not the manufacturers or lenders interest.

Does a co-owner of a vehicle who has never driven the vehicle have accident liability if his only reason for being on title was to get the vehicle financed?

You bet. If the other owner of the vehicle doesn't carry insurance on the vehicle -- or lets it lapse -- and has an at-fault accident, the injured party can certainly come after you as a part owner of the vehicle. If the other owner carries insurance, however, you're pretty safe. The insurance carrier handling the vehicle and any accidents will protect the owners' interests to the limits of the policy. If you know the vehicle has insurance, and you're still worried, take a moment to review the policy coverages and limits on the vehicle. Just so you know, the insurance you carry on the vehicle you do drive would not extend to a co-owned vehicle like this, unless you've told your carrier about it.

If you let someone ride your motorcycle and he crashed it do you file a claim with his insurance or your own for the repairs?

insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver. If you loan your vehicle to someone, you assume the risk of them having an accident. Only if there is no insurance on the vehicle would the driver's insurance become effective for the loss of a vehicle not owned by him.


Is there a charge by a lien holder if you do not have insurance on the vehicle?

Of course. The financing agreement that you signed requires you to have full coverage insurance and to make sure that they receive a copy of the insurance with their name listed as leinholder on the policy. This assures that they are paid if there is an accident and that they are notified in case of a cancellation of the insurance. There are laws protecting the leinholder in every state. If you break the contract with the leinholder they have the right to repossess the vehicle as well as the put what is called forced place insurance on the vehicle. This insurance protect the leinholder's interest only in case of an accident or damage to the vehicle. This coverage is physical damage coverage only and does not include liability or any other coverages and the premium is very high. The premium is charged to your loan account.
