    Not at all.... just be aware that the insurance will almost certainly go up when she passes her test.

    Also be aware that on top of the voluntary excess she will have to pay an inexperienced/ young driver excess - these can vary significantly between insurers so when comparing prices make sure you take the total excess into consideration if you are going for comprehensive insurance on it
