Becoming named driver

liquidshokk

Hi

I am due to change permanent employment as of next week and so lose my company car. I'm looking to be put onto my girlfriends car as a named driver (Won't use it a great deal as will be working out of the country). My question is, do I have to get insurance from my gf's insurers or can I get named driver insurance on a separate, cheaper policy?

We have called sheilas wheels who currently provide cover and they want nearly £200 to add me until April. Is this the only option other than my gf taking her insurance elsewhere?

Thanks

Quentin

If you don't want permanent cover see what sw will charge for having you as a temp named driver whilst you are back in uk

I'll only be working away mon-thurs each week so will use it a few times on the other days.

Guess we just pay up and see if the setup is cheaper when we renew in april?

Taking her insurance elsewhere mid term could be costly.

Admin fees and things like breakdown and legal protection wont be refunded.

£200 willl sound cheap.

Dont forget she wont earn any no claims for not completing a full year.

If you take out your own policy it could be over £100 a month.
