Yes. The owner of the car is responsible for ANYONE that you let use the car. Of course, if, for example, your daughter gets into an accident, then legally she would owe YOU if you were to be sued for any damages. If you expect your daughter to be lending out the car, then you are responsible civilly, for any damages that person caused.
