Drivers Insurance Cover The Cars
A Driver’s insurance policy never ever covers the car he is driving. If you fall an accident and make damage to your car, your policy will only cover your physical damages not the damages of your car. If your friend or any one except you makes any damage to the car, his or her car insurance will not cover your car. For ‘Nominated Driver’ or for ‘Multiple Drivers’ are the policies most of the companies offer. If you are the nominated driver in your policy and your friend make damage to the car, your claim will surely be rejected. However, multiple drivers’ policy will only cover your spouse. Apart from you two, any one makes any damage your claim will be rejected and your no-claim bonus, if there is one, will also not be paid.

Nevertheless, financial reasons, though not motor risk related reasons, may also affect insurance quotes.
