My OH has just bought a car, but he hasn't passed his test yet which is booked for November. He wanted the car now, so he can practice before the test. I couldn't insure him on mine as the terms of my policy state you must hold a licence for a year before you can go on the insurance, and it's not a suitable car for a learner.
Insurance for provisional drivers is very expensive, so I was wondering the best way to do it.
1) If he insures it as a provisional now, will they reduce the price for the rest of the year once he passes?
2) Can I insure in my name with him as an additional driver, then cancel it and get a policy in his name once he passes?
3) Any other suggestions on the cheapest way of doing it? He'd want social and domestic cover for now, then upgrading it to cover commuting once he passes his test. He is over 30, so he's not a boy racer!
