Non-drivers insuring a car?

celyn90

Hi, I know this is going to seem like a silly question but I just wondered if anyone knew the answer to this - Is it possible for someone who doesn't hold a driving license (not even a provisional) to insure a car that they own (and is registered to them)? many thanks cel x

Why?

I can only assume it is a car you are rebuilding or one you just look at.

Yes. You can be the non-driving dude who legally and financially owns the car and therefore has beneficial interest in insuring the car. You just tell the insurers who the main driver is.

Thanks so much, she legally owns the car (she bought it and is registered owner now) but doesn't drive. It was registered to her ex initially but when they split - she insisted her ex transferred back to her (which he did without question or problem). She knows she has to insure/tax it but was worried she wouldn't be able to without a license.

The tax is different.

You sign a SORN that the vehicle is not being used or kept on the road. (if you keep it on the road it will need tax)
