Using insurance without consent

Question

Hello.

He rented a car from his friend, who does not usually rent it out and only rents it to him. Is it permitted to use the insurance?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha.

It is forbidden, because anything that the insurance company would not have agreed to if they had been asked is considered outright theft.
