Question

Hello, There is a car rental company called My Car that rents cars on a daily basis. This company does not rent to new drivers, but many people register the car under another driver's name and take the car in their name. The question is whether this is permitted? And if, God forbid, there is a need to use the insurance, is it allowed to use the insurance even though the registered driver did not drive it, but another driver did? Thank you very much

Answer

Hello 

It is forbidden, from the perspective of theft, to register the car under another driver's name without the company's consent.

It is forbidden to use insurance not according to the terms; this is considered theft.
