Car Insurance on other persons contract car?

Options
Hi

Wonder if you can help

Im trying to work out if the following situation is possible.

I've got a bad credit file and Im considering whther it would be possible for a family member to take out a standard contract hire car in their name and then I take out a fully comp insurance policy on the car and drive it myself

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

    No.

    Why don't you get added on as a named driver on to the contract?
  • ah right can you do that ?
    thing is my family member wants one too
    so would the contract company be alright when family members says "id like 2 cars please, one for myself exclusivly and another for me and a family member named?"

    And how would insurance work if i was a named driver on the contract?

    thanks

    When I've hired cars on holiday before, we have certainly had two drivers on it.
    This happens all the time when couples/families go on holiday.
    It's very common that couples want to share the driving.

    Are you talking about just hiring a car that you give back or is it some form of hire purchase?
  • two year contract hire (not pcp) so hire for two years. hand car back after. Fixed monthly payment rental
