Yes you can, as long as the car is insured by LV=. In many instances you may decide that adding a friend or relative permanently onto your policy is the best option. However, temporarily adding a driver or vehicle to your LV= car insurance policy may be a preferred option for the temporary use of your vehicle or for adding a driver onto your policy short term. Just so you know we charge a £15 admin fee each time you change your vehicle, add or remove a driver or remove a car from your Multi Car insurance.
If you want to add another driver to your existing policy, you can call us:
If you bought your car insurance before 22/11/2022 then please call: 0330 678 5222
If you bought your car insurance on or after 22/11/2022 then please call: 0330 678 5111
To add a new driver, we need to know their:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Main occupation
- Driving licence number or
- Licence type (Full, Provisional), the year they got it and whether it's a UK, EU or another type of licence
- Motoring convictions in the last 5 years - conviction month and year, offence code, disqualification period
- Accidents or claims in the last 5 years - month and year of claim, claim type i.e. fault, partial fault, non-fault etc
It is important to remember that we reserve the right to cancel your policy should too many alterations be made throughout the life of your policy.
You need to be clear with your insurer about who drives the car the most often. You cannot state that someone else is the main driver if you’re driving the car on more occasions than them, as this is called ‘fronting’. Whoever is driving the car the most often is the ‘main driver’, with any other drivers being ‘named drivers.’ If you’re not honest about this, it’s considered fraud. Want to know more?
