Friend wants to insure his car under my name
 
What are the risks? Good idea?

racerman88 02-26-2009 07:00 PM

not worth the risk if he gets into an accident. Tell him to insure under his parents or a relative. Is it worth risking your friendship if anything happens?

Armind 02-26-2009 07:03 PM

Yeah i'm thinking bout that right now too..

Rich Sandor 02-26-2009 07:15 PM

Absolutely not. It's a horrible idea.

It's a deal for him, and nothing but a big risk for you.

As mentioned above, not worth ruining a friendship over.

Armind 02-26-2009 07:17 PM

Hmm K, case closed.

LowTEC 02-26-2009 07:18 PM

If your friend is a hot chick, then.........

Philly74 02-26-2009 07:28 PM

A good friend once told me this. " Never put friendship to a test cause it always disappoint you"

So the answer is NO

FatalCloud 02-26-2009 07:31 PM

why does your friend want to do that anyways

1990TSI 02-26-2009 07:38 PM

no risks at all!

I say go for it.

offer to pay as well. There's obviously a good reason why he doesn't want to insure the car under his own name, what do you have to lose?!!!

Leopold Stotch 02-26-2009 07:47 PM

This happened to a family friend.

Let her friend insure their car on her name.
Friend got into hit and run.
victim had witnesses.
ICBC is asking my family friend to come forward
Friend is now gone due to other problems with police


So who's going to pay and ultimately have to fix the problem?
well my family friends mom, but you get what i mean.

MegaMx 02-26-2009 07:50 PM

NO

asian_XL 02-26-2009 07:55 PM

I'll pay you $100, can I insure my car under your name too? PLEASSSSE

Beefball 02-26-2009 07:56 PM

Harvey Specter 02-26-2009 08:00 PM

Very bad idea.

SpuGen 02-26-2009 10:11 PM

Depends if you can trust the person or not.
But if the person gets into an accident, it's their fault according to ICBC. So they take the full insurance hit, not you.

JesseBlue 02-26-2009 10:13 PM

trust or not...NO...let them insure it under their own name

maxxxboost 02-27-2009 12:34 AM

Big nono!!!!

What is his reason for doing so?

JSALES 02-27-2009 12:35 AM

that's a bad idea, i have a friend that did that and the person got into a car accident and his insurance went up

Vansterdam 02-27-2009 04:22 AM

i got offered 500$ to do this last week....

fuck that

Hot Karl 02-27-2009 04:30 AM

doesn't the car have to be put in your name too?

if so, go for the counter scam. sell his car.

no it doesnt have to be.



Id do it for family but not friends no matter how close they are unless i grew up with them and even then... :/

thumper 02-27-2009 05:56 AM

didn't this happen with one of the gangster shootouts? not one of the ones recently but i think about a year back with a bmw involved in a drive by shooting... someone reported the license plates and the police went to the registered address only to find out that the person living there only owns the car on paper (lease/registered owner) and it was the person who was shot at was the principal operator.

GLOW 02-27-2009 07:12 AM

not insuring it under his own name should be a big warning sign. you assume all the risk while he assumes none. even suggesting it to you would make me raise an eyebrow as to what type of 'friend' would ask that of you.

q0192837465 02-27-2009 07:56 AM

so the answer is "NO"
