If the policy is under her dad’s address and states his address is where the car is primarily garaged/parked, when in actuality it’s not you’ll have bigger problems if an accident occurs.

This is correct, OP needs to get his gf to change the garaging address on the policy and add him as a driver.

Do you mind elaborating on the problems? I’m not familiar with car insurance. But it sounds like the car isn’t allowed to be “housed” at anywhere else besides the address on the policy? We moved out recently so that’s why the addresses are different. Should that be updated with the insurance policy? We moved 10 minute drive away from them.

The rate is based on where the car is “housed” because that’s where they assume you’ll be doing the majority of the driving and parking.

If they figure out that you’re housing it somewhere else, they can deny any payout because you’re committing fraud. Same if they figure out that you’re driving it frequently and aren’t on the policy.

Gotcha that makes sense. We will look into updating this!

Honestly it’s probably not like they’d find it cost-effective to put a team of insurance investigators on the case if you did have to file a claim- you would just need to be careful about what you say to them.

“We borrowed it for the weekend/week” etc
