question about being names driver on policy??

[madmatt1]

What it is im gonna be a named driver on me step dads insurance,question is when it comes to taxing the thing will it have to be my step dad who has to provide the documents ? its been so long since i had a car cant remember what documents u need to tax it lol,is it logg book? if so think it has to be in his name which makesit awkward as he never keeps his documents in place,or is there a way i can tax it myself? cheers

You need proof of insurance, valid MOT and thats about it. Anyone can tax it so long as it is insured by someone and is road worthy.

If you haven't got the renewal, you need the V5 to tax it....

but none of it needs to be in the same name (or yours)

 

[madmatt1]

what i mean is because im not the main driver on the policy only the named driver can i still walk into the post office with a mot and the insurance certificate showing im the named driver to tax it?? cheers

If you don't have the renewal, you need the v5 (as stated above)

 

[madmatt1]

i will have the renewal next april just wondering as im on the policy but logg book in step dads name if i can tax it,got me answers now,cheers peeps

Just do it online. They will have a record showing it has valid insurance/MOT so you don't need to find the documents or go to the post office. All the details you need will be on the renewal notice.

if you have one

Your car may also have to go in your step dads name if hes insuring it.

Why are you going on as a named driver? And not the main driver, the insurance will prove cheaper in the long run, if you insure yourself.
