( Father )No , licenced car owner,and (daughter) the primary driver?

by Chantel
(Toronto, Ont, Canada)

Is it possible to transfer my car to my Fathers un-licenced name,as owner, and have me as the primary & ONLY driver?
I am currently going through some financial hardship, and the car is worth over $5000, so instead of me selling the car totally...My father is looking at it as collateral, but I would be driving it.
There is no other person that I trust to do this, And I dont want to be on anyone else's policy.

There must be a solution to this problem?

Transfer Car to Unlicensed Father?

To register a vehicle he needs insurance. And to get insurance he needs a license. So it can't be solely in his name. You might be able to register it in both of your names though. Check into that.

Please be sure to discuss this further with a licensed insurance representative. Oh, and by the way, are your rates too high? Check here:

To the two posters who commented. I gather you are both in the insurance business. If you'd like to be contact with me directly, feel free to use the contact form.

The contact form is found through the menu on the left (near the bottom). When you get to that page, scroll to the very bottom of the page (past the footer).

I will disable it again in the next few days to a week as the volume of inquiries I receive is too high...

Insurance In Ontario
by: Anonymous

Insurance can be placed in an individuals name/joint/or in a business name. The named insured of a policy is the registered owner and is responsible for the terms of the policy. The named insured is not required to drive his vehicle himself, but is required to have insurance on it if it will be operated on public highways.

Any person operating a automobile in Ontario must hold a valid license for their class of vehicle.

A change of registration in this case will give you both responsibilities, rather than just you as presently registered.

I believe there is an allowance to keep a vehicle if it is upto a specific dollar amount. I would cold call and make a general inquiry.

You do not need to be licenced to own a vehicle. You would have to transfer the vehicle ownership to his name and he would have to get a policy in his name with you as the principal operator. Be careful though, if you are doing this to avoid having to sell you car due to bankruptcy, they specifically ask if you have sold assets in the past year.
