Erindipity	I'm no insurance expert...but I believe liability coverage covers the driver...collision covers the car (and the owner of the car is responsible for deductibles, etc).

scottyisrude	Good question! The person at fault pays. That is, if you were driving and some knucklehead caused the accident, he/she pays. On the other hand, if it was your fault, the owner of the car pays. Naturally, you should make every effort to pay for what you did and preserve a friendship. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dizzy geeza	Morally, You are responsible for your friends car to repair damage. Be it through your insurance, or through your wallet! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

flamingo_sandy	The owner's insurance would be responsible, and the driver would be responsible for any deductible. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

OhGreatWiseOneinHipWaders	You have not provided enough facts. Also are you asking the moral or legal obligation? Is your insurance actually paying to repair? Or is it his insurance? or both? Even if your insurance is paying for ALL the repairs, and you are paying the deductible your friend's car has been devalued by the occurrence. She deserves compensation for this devaluation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

answerman63	Here's the CORRECT answer. First off, it depends on who's responsible for the accident. If it's the other driver, then their insurance will cover it. If it's you (the borrower of the car), then the car owner (person who lent you the car)'s insurance will cover it, but the owner and/or his insurance company could sue YOU (the borrower) for damages. If you are a true friend you should be offering to pay for the damage IF it was your fault; if it was NOT your fault then let the other guy's insurance company deal with it. Hope this info helped. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
