Insurance Companies Say That Policies Will Cover Bona Fide Clubs.
. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (U. P.. —Automobile owners actively participating in car-sharing clubs were assured today of full and adequate insurance protection. The office of price administration announced that more than 200 companies writing nearly all the automobile liability insurance issued in the United States have informed OPA Administrator Leon Henderson that such protection will be given car-sharing motorists, Previously, the OPA had pointed out to the companies that car-shar-ing was one of the most effective ways of saving car mileage but that this development was hampered by fear that insurance coverage On cars so used would be jeopardized. In the letter sent to Mr. Henderson the companies acknowledge that in certain cases car-sharing could be construed as violating provisions of standard policies issued on private passenger cars, but that in the cace
of motorists enrolled in bona-fide|.
share-the-ride clubs all policies on such cars would be construed as giving necessary protection to the iowners after July 31, 1942,
