Insurance

[chrissa1]

Can I take out comprehensive insurance on a car that is registered in my son's name but that I have paid for and that I will be the main driver of? He would be a named driver and is over 30 years old.

[Toureman]

yes.

[boxtops]

yes

[chrissa1]

Really?

Why on earth would you want to do that? Why not register the car in your name, or do you have something to hide?

I tried to insure a friends car for myself to use while he was banned and was told by several insurance companies that I can not insure a car not owned by myself as I have no insurable interest in it. (I ended up buying it from him for £1 and selling it back to him when he got his license back)

I thought it might be something like that. Magicmerlin, having sadly had experience with a Bailiff, (hopefully over that now), I don't want to be in that situation again. I think I should tell the insurance company now as it is Saga Insurancve, do you agree anyone?

[chrissa1]

I Thought that might be the case Eddie. As I'm with Saga, (being over 50), I guess I'll have to change my insurance company then??

[chrissa1]

Just between you and me Eddie, that's my age too. Ssh!! Thanks.

Just done a comparison site search and found 15 odd sites cheaper than Saga. I stated that I was the main driver but not the registered owner. Seemples!!
