You can only add an additional owner on to the vehicle, which requires you to cancel and change license plates. I don't think there is an temporary change of endorsement to a policy that you can add on.

as far as i know, he would only have to change the insurance if he had a specific policy that states no one with less then 10 years driving experience will be driving.

or if he had a leisure only option added... and that just means you can't drive it to work more then 6? days per month.

I'm not aware of any issue with the police as long as its insured and u have a valid license and meet all the normal requirements for driving.

seems simple.

enjoy the car, don't wreck it!

just make sure to clean any stains on the seats
This is pretty much BANG-ON. Thanks

I called ICBC today and asked them, they said to make sure the kind of insurance he has(leisure/work etc etc) and just follow within his insurances policy. Also asked about accident and stuff, if it's my fault *knock on wood* then his insurance might go up and I'll pay the deductible. If it's the other persons fault then he covers everything.

And if I get pulled over, she recommend me it's best to have his number on my phone or in the car in case the cop doesn't believe me.

JeffK, do you work for ICBC or something? Your information was pretty accurate lol and is there anything I should do or avoid doing while I'm driving his car?

I don't work for 'em, no... but I try to get as cheap insurance as possible

I have multiple vehicles, a wife that doesn't drive and i don't drive to work... So I can use just about every possible method ICBC allows to keep things cheap

As for what not to do with the car... just keep the shiny side up and have fun!
