Question about insuring a learner driver?

I would like to insure my younger sister on my car so I can teach her to drive. However, when calling my insurance broker (Budget) they said the insurance company I am using through them will not insure my sister.

Is there any way to insure her separate to drive my car? Obviously the car is already insured so just getting insurance for her SHOULDN'T be too expensive.

Any thought?

    There's no sensible, affordable, way to separately insure her to drive your car.

    You would do better to change your insurance to a company who will insure her; but, clearly, if you do that mid-term you may lose a significant amount in penalties.

    Either way, it's going to cost.

    Perhaps it would be cheaper to buy her a run around car for £100 and insure her on that.
  • Thanks for the replies, she will just have to wait for my renewal date then.
