    Surely you are not advising that the OP insures them on her policy to drive their car?


    eh? no. I said 'don't buy them a car'. I.e. let them learn to drive their mum (or dads) car first.

    I think a comapny such as coverbox.co.uk uses it, and you can track their every move and make them pay for it... they install a GPS tracker so you pay for the mileage you do.
    ewwwww what is that...

    From recent posts your looking at nearly £2000 each. Adding then to your policy maybe cheaper in the short term.

    They may not build no claims on that though, AND the bad bit is if they have an accident it will wipe out your no claims.
    Usually clause says under 25's are not covered by the protected no claims. Also policy excess is higher.

    How would it be cheaper?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    I would imagine that Mum or Dad need their cars.

  • Thank You to all who sent me your ideas.. Clearly i have a lot to think about1
  • only offer of advice would be to get a multicar policy, yours and theirs should work out cheaper in the long run and of course be NAMED driver infrequent user or non user.

    security thatcham 2 immobiliser or thathcam 1 alarm installed in both cars.

    or get them to enlist in pay per usage schemes where by they have trackers fitted and charge for peak usage etc maybe worth investigating.
