Got my Provisional Licence but can't drive my husband's car :(

[Jamesey]

Yesterday i received my provisional driving licence.. me and my husband were both happy. He decided to put me in his car insurance so i will be able to drive his car with him. Last night we were talking about it and thinking possible places that i can drive without other cars coming in.

Then my husband just called me and told me that i'm not allowed to drive his car even i have my prov licence or even if i'll have my full licence in a year. Because his car is a sporty car

The insurance won't accept me Mind them, i'm a better driver than them i'm pretty sure

We're in a similar position. My wife just received her provisional licence but I've got a company car and she's not allowed to drive it as a learner. She'll be OK once she's passed her though.

She'll need her own car but getting insurance could be expensive. I've always had a company car, so haven't built up any no claims bonus in my own name. As a new driver, her premium is likely to be high.

We'll probably get a small, cheap car and insure it third party only. Hopefully, after a year or so, the insurance companies will look at our situation and give us a good deal!

As far as being a sporty car goes, its only a Mondeo ST TDCI !
Just called Tescos insurance and it turns out that cos they refused to cover Chryss on my policy they have to waive the cancellation charge which was 1 months premium + £10
And I also get £8 refund from my last payment, so its not all bad.

I think some insurance companies will give you some NCD even though you`ve been driving a company car if you can prove that you havn`t had any accidents during that time.
Maybe someone has experienced this and can help you?

I have heard the same worth asking your faclities department or whatever they call themselves at your place of work.

When I first arranged the insurance for my wife's car a couple a years back I didn't find much difference in the prices between third party and full comp. I did though find a massive difference in prices between different companies. Some insurance companies were quoting over £1000 and others wouldn't even insure her because of the type of car (it was deemed too 'boy/girl racerish') though in the end I only paid ~£350.
