Car Insurance

Can 2 people be insured on the same car without being on each others insurance?

Other half has a car but if I go on his insurance as an extra driver, its very expensive.

Can I be insured on the car as well as him without being added to his insurance?

    No you cant do this. It is one insurance policy for 1 car however you can have named drivers on the policy.

    To to be insured to drive his car you cannot take out another policy, but would need to be as a driver on his (or you take out a policy and he can be a driver on yours)

    The car is the insurable interest and you cannot normally have 'Dual Insurance' policies covering the vehicle.
