2023\t\t<\/div><\/div><h3>How do I update drivers on my car insurance policy?<\/h3><p>Adding or removing drivers from your policy is easy with a simple phone call to your insurance company. In many cases, you can also log in to your online account to update this information.<\/p><ol><li>Call your insurance company or log in to your online account.<\/li><li>Request to add or remove secondary drivers to your account.<\/li><li>Provide the necessary information about the driver.<\/li><li>Ask any questions about insurance rates and available discounts.<\/li><li>Request mail confirmation as proof for your records or save the updated driver information online.<\/li><\/ol><h3>How much does adding a driver cost?<\/h3><p>If you&#8217;re a young or new driver, adding someone more experienced to your policy could actually get you a cheaper premium. This is a great way of reducing your insurance premiums when getting your first policy.<\/p><p>On the other hand, if you add a younger driver to your policy, it&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;ll pay a little more as<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/car-insurance\/young-drivers\"> younger drivers<\/a> are considered to be more high risk by most insurers.<\/p><p>Factors that can affect the price of your insurance when adding a driver to your policy:<\/p><ul><li>The age and marital status of the additional driver.<\/li><li>Their relationship to the policyholder.<\/li><li>If they own or drive another vehicle. Some insurers may give a discount if the additional driver uses another car.<\/li><li>Their licence type, how long they&#8217;ve had it and any DVLA-reported medical conditions or disabilities.<\/li><li>Their driving history \u2013 any claims and convictions.<\/li><\/ul><p>You&#8217;ll usually need to pay a standard amendment fee, generally between \u00a315 and \u00a330, on top of any changes to your premium.<\/p><p>If you&#8217;re adding a driver several times a year, you could be paying successive administration fees. In this case, it might be cheaper to consider keeping them on your policy permanently.<\/p><h3>Who should be on my car insurance policy?<\/h3><p>The main person insuring the car will be the one deciding all additional drivers. As the main policyholder, you can add secondary drivers if they:<\/p><ul><li>Are a family member.<\/li><li>Live at the same home address.<\/li><li>Use the car regularly.<\/li><\/ul><p>Drivers you may need to add include:<\/p><ul><li>Spouse<\/li><li>Roommates<\/li><li>Teenage drivers<\/li><li>Family members living with you<\/li><\/ul><p>Contact your insurance company if you have a question or special situation. Some insurance companies may require you to add friends or family members who use your car but don&#8217;t live at your address.<\/p><p>If the person who uses the car most is listed as an additional driver, it is known as &#8220;fronting&#8221;. This is illegal and may invalidate your policy, and even land you in court.<\/p><h3>What are drivers on my policy covered for?<\/h3><p>Any additional or named drivers will get the same level of cover as the main policy holder. What the policy covers depends on the kind of policy the main policy holder has bought.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What if someone not on my policy borrows my car?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\"><p>Though it may seem like nothing to worry about, lending your car to someone who is not named in your insurance policy can have dire consequences.
