Hi ,
My daughter has just moved to the UK. She wont be driving in the UK. She is a currently a named driver on my car insurance policy.
She will want to use my car here when home for the occasional weekend.

Will she still be covered now she has moved to the UK ?

many thanks
 
TBH I’m thinking of moving abroad next year and just leave the car in the driveway insured and drive it when I’m home once a month…can’t see any reason why I need to inform anyone
 
My insurance company won't let me add my sister to my policy as a named driver because she doesn't live in Ireland. She lives in an EU country. I have added her temporarily a couple of times in the past for a small fee, but the last time I asked, the fee was huge (over €100) so I didn't do it.
 
Since she will be a very infrequent driver and she is only just after going to the UK it should not be an issue.
if you are concerned then I suggest ringing the insurance company tomorrow to get some clarity.

if possible leave her as a named driver and this would help her build a no claims bonus should she return to Ireland full time.
 
This may vary from insurer to insurer.

My mother lives in Ireland. I, and several of my siblings, do not.

Until she stopped driving last year, one of my siblings — the one who visits most frequently — was on her insurance as a named driver on a permanent or standing basis. He lives in London (and the insurance company was aware of this). The rest of us would get ourselves added whenever we visited. There never used to be a charge for this, but in recent years they started imposing (modest) charges for the temporary named drivers; not for the permanent one.

It’s almost certainly a condition of your insurance that you have to be resident at the address you give them.

Whether they can prove the contrary in the event of a claim is another matter however….
