The short answer is yes, your sister can insure your car, but she will need to make sure you are listed as a driver as well as an additional interest. An additional interest is someone who has a financial stake in the car, and since you own the car you are financially invested in it.

If you need, The Zebra can quote you with several auto insurance carriers easily online, or you can also give us a call at  833-768-7789. Good luck and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

In Alabama, does the car insurance follow the driver or the car?

In my experience, it's always the rule that car insurance follows the vehicle, not the driver. So, although the person who hit your daughter wasn't the owner of the vehicle, their car insurance would still apply in this situation. Meaning, your daughter would be contacting their insurance company t…
