I'm in Texas, USA and I'm traveling to a different city where I'm going to be driving a friend's car for a few days. I hold a valid drivers license but no car insurance of my own.

Am I required to have insurance? My friend has his. If yes, which companies offer one?

I looked at Geico and Nationwide but they don't seem to offer temporary insurance.

Thanks.

In the United States, most car insurance policies cover "permissive users," those who the named insured allow to drive the named insured's vehicle. The terms of the named insured's insurance policy will actually control. Read the policy, or have the named insured ask his or her insurance agent if the policy covers permissive users.
