think it would, try taking out her own insurance but with you as a named driver, that can bring premiums down

Probably get your insurance cancelled and your daughter prosecuted for no insurance. It's called 'fronting' and the insurance cos are clamping down.

This has been discussed before on HOL.

After one year insurance cost goes down considerably, so get an old car and insure TPFT.

Yep, even the PCC for Kent Police has just been (sort of) done for this.

The CPS amazingly couldn't be arsed to press charges though. Funny that.

 


Optimistic as ever

Get her to do a pass plus or advanced driving course (whatever they call it nowadays) as this pays for itself and more. Also she is less likely to have an accident as it should improve her driving skills too

I work for an insurer and your ncb would be affected if she were to have a fault claim. Try protecting ncb. Very hard to find competitive rates, but use comparison websites like go compare confused beat quote compare the market to find the best rates

My insurance company just sent me my renewal, and ask if I wanted to pay per annum. I told them, thanks, but I'd pay through the nose like everyone else.

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

interesting.

Please bear in mind that insurance contracts have a requirement of "utmost good faith" - you tell your insurer all the material facts about you and your daughter and the cars you both drive.

As mentioned her having a higher skill level should help as will you not having been caught speeding.

Worth speaking to someone with knowledge - I do not have enough - starting with an advisor, then with your current insurer (always good you ask questions when you have some knowledge of what the answers might be).

Multicar policies might be worth considering - you do not have to add further cars - with daughter and her car being first and only insured. The permutations can be endless. Good luck & best wishes.

Not any more, the Consumer Insurance Act put an end to that for personal insurance, an insurer is required to ask about every little piece of information they require.

As mentioned above, don't fall into the 'fronting' trap of insuring it in your name if it's your daughters car, it'll only end up messy and potentially costing you more in the long run.

Buy an old car that's worth less than the tires on it that's in reasonable working condition, and insure it in her name. An old work college of mine had been suspended from driving on a drink driving conviction. Once he got his license back, he was driving around in an old 1988 Escort for three years and the insurance, even with him having been previously disqualified, was only around 500 a year in his first year after disqualification, and it went down rapidly.

Eventually it was stolen, he reported it to the police, never bothered with the claim, bought another old but reasonable condition car and continued his NCB.
