Do any companies still offer "Any driver" insurance?

Ferris

We've been insuring our vehicles using CIS's 'Any driver' policies for years now, but they've suddenly decided to pull it for this year's renewal. Interestingly, the price difference between last year's 'Any driver' policy and this year's 'Main driver only' policy is just £50. That's a lot of risk crammed into £50...

In any case, we could really do with maintaining 'Any driver' cover (or possibly Any driver over 21), which includes cover for learners. Does anyone know of any companies who still offer such a policy?

I've tried using confused.com but to my knowledge they don't seem to have an option for any driver policies...

This is fairly urgent as renewal is due in just a few days... thanks in advance!

Hi believe Quinn Direct and Liverpool Victoria still offer this but you will still need to make very sure that no drivers have adverse driving record.

Thanks, I had a quick look at Quinn Direct online but couldn't find the appropriate option (there was something called "Open Drive 26-65" but then that didn't seem to be reflected in the list of drivers produced on the quote page)... I couldn't find anything on the Liverpool Victoria website... any hints on just where I should be looking?

Does anyone know of any other companies that offer anything similar?

Many thanks

Most insurers offer it but many dont have it on their websites as it is so rare that people want it that it isnt cost effective to have it there (it does confuse people because of the over 24 and under 66 requirements)

With any driver policies you can still add named drivers in addition to the policyholder. This is generally designed for people who are under 25 or over 65 but if for some reason you want to put someone else on the policy you can.

that's interesting, i would imagine that they would be very popular. i suspect what was different about the CIS policy we had was that it was literally any driver, over 25, under 25, whatever. so the kids could learn to drive on it and everything.

spoke to CIS today about how much it would cost to insure all the drivers we would like on the policy as named drivers... it came out as £180 MORE than we were paying last year. so reduced risk (i.e. limited to 4 people) but increased premium. go figure

I would double check that there is no conditions on who can drive under the "any driver" aspect as I would be fairly surprised if it had no restrictions (if it was any other insurer other than the NFU I would be exceptionally surprised but NFU and CIS do seem as if they are stuck in the dark ages at times).
