What is the car insurance policy for driving someone else's car?

I am a student living in Ohio and have my own separate car insurance on my car. I have a CA license. If I visit my parents in California, can I legally drive their car if I am not on the insurance policy?

1. I believe that is what liability insurance is for.
2. Ask your agent to show you the language in your parents' policy that says yes or no.
3. No you can't.
4. Yeah....
5. You can drive anyone's car, with their permission. Therefore, if they give you permission, you will be covered!
6. Yes, you can. The insurance follows the car not the driver. As long as someone has permission to drive your car, they are covered.
7. It depends. Your insurance may cover you driving someone else's car, depending on your policy. If you have "full" coverage, you're probably covered. Your parents' insurance may cover you driving their car, depending on their policy. Check both. Try not to crash.
