hi sorry if this has been answered before. I've been a named driver on my mums car insurance for two years and we are looking to put the insurance in my name, as I drive the more now. I went on compare the market filled out all the details and it asked if I had any NCB, I said no but it asked if I had any named driver experience, one of the options was named driver on another car, but as its the same car can I put that I have two or as its the same car does it not count

Do dummy quotes first of all using slightly altered details and see if having 0 or 2 years as a ND makes any difference to the prices of the insurers you are considering going to and this includes clicking through to the broker/ insurer to ensure its not showing up as NCD.
If its being translated correct and not being mistaken for NCD then I doubt it will make much difference with many insurers and so it will probably be a mute point anyway. If it does then contact that company before buying and ensure they are comfortable with it being the same vehicle0 -

Off topic - sorry, OP.
My favourite football forum has a "malapropisms" thread, dedicated to mute points, damp squids and escape goats.I am a mortgage broker.

If the only change is that you're driving more (it's still your mum's car) then get her to change her policy to show you as the main driver.0
