  • When I was 17 I named everyone I could on my policy.

    Never caused any of them any issues.

    Do you *know* that, though?

    Honestly, when I was 17 I had my parents named on my policy - but I don't have the foggiest if they paid more as a result on their own policies. A) I never asked and B) I doubt they knew anyway.

    The main issue it can cause is if your insurers decide to vet your policy and ask you to provide each of your named drivers licenses.

    If everythings been declared correctly then its just an inconvenience but if you havent asked people or have made people up etc you may struggle to get their licenses from them to send.

    If the policy is in your daughters name then the named drivers won't be insured to drive other cars that they don't own obviously any cars they do own must be insured by them personally

    By my earlier post I meant that I added parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Not without permission.
