Depending on the owners Auto Insurance Policy Form selected, coverage may or may not extend to other drivers. A standard Form Auto Insurance Policy will typically extend coverage for permitted drivers not engaged in a crime. A "Limited Policy" a "Non Owners Policy" or a "Named Driver Policy" while more economic in some cases will not extend coverage at all to any other permitted drivers.
Consult with your Insurance Agent for appropriate coverage. Don't make broad assumptions about your financial responsibilities. You should always verify coverage before driving an unowned vehicle or make sure your own policy follows you as a named insured driver to a replacement or loaner vehicle.
Insurance regulations vary by state regulation so it's always best to talk to an agent in your area. A local agent will be most familiar with your state regulations.

If you have a car accident to whom would you go to rectify the damage to your car?
I would go to the insurance company and then have the car taken to a shop of my choice. I would recomment asking the insurance company to recommend some shops as they will sometimes warranty the work of these. If you choose another shop the insurance will not recognize the warrantee.
