Can you insure a leased vehicle out of state?
It could be tough for your daughter to insure the leased vehicle if insurance companies see that she is not the owner. In addition, your lease agreement likely states that you have to be insured on the vehicle, and they may not be okay with your daughter being both the primary driver and out of state.
