You should first check with your insurance company to be sure your policy covers additional drivers. It may be necessary to add your relative to the policy.

Q: I'm 94 and my wife is 90. Our children are on our case to give up driving. I don't mind giving up driving, but I don't wish to give up my car as it has a carrier on it for my electric scooter. Other people occasionally drive it to transport me and the scooter. Can I loan the car to my wife's brother, and if so, what documents will he need?

A: You can loan the car to your wife's brother, assuming he holds a valid driver's license. No documentation is needed.
