You usually have to be over 25 to be covered on somebody else’s car, also the car that your driving has to have its own insurance policy

is it really worth it for 5 mins driving??

if its his company car... is it HIS company??

if not, regardless of your insurance cover, you wont be covered UNLESS he checks with whoever his car is insured by & see's if your ok to drive it...

i have risked it a few times with mates car but dont do it now. If its not too far just follow him in your car and then give him a lift back to get his other car once he has dropped one of them off
