In the Additional Agreements of the insurer, Own damage, the insurer agrees to waive subrogation against which party?

• A. A neighbor driving the automobile with the insured's consent
• B. A neighbor who had care or custody of the automobile for repair purposes
• C. Anyone, other than the named insured, who has breached any condition of the policy.
• D. Someone who was storing the automobile in a parking garage

Answer: (A)

Subrogation is the insurer’s right to recover paid losses from a third party who caused them. In own-damage coverage, an Additional Agreement can waive that right for certain people who are legally allowed to use the insured vehicle. The best match here is a neighbor who drove the insured automobile with the insured’s consent. Since the driver had permission, the insurer agrees not to pursue that neighbor to recover costs after paying the claim, avoiding unnecessary dispute with someone who was allowed to use the car. The other scenarios don’t fit the typical scope of this waiver: a repair custody situation, a general breach of policy conditions by others, or someone simply storing the vehicle in a garage aren’t the standard parties specified for a subrogation waiver in the own-damage Additional Agreements.
