Because if you take a car without permission of the owner, and crash it, then the owner's insurance company would have a reason to come after you in order to pay back what they have paid out to the owner - assuming they did pay out. If they didn't pay out, then the owner would be coming after you instead. Either way, you're responsible for the damage you caused. | |

Is it an explicit permission from the insurance company, or (as I suspect you mean) from the owner of the vehicle, without whose permission to operate the vehicle the insurance would be rendered invalid. | |
