Insurance For Non Owner

Discussion in 'Insurance - Sponsored by Ducati Insurance' started by Ivor, Jul 10, 2024.

  1. Friend wants to borrow wife's monster but is struggling to find an insurer who will insure him as a non owner. Anyone any suggestions?
     
  2. Add him as a named rider on your wife’s insurance. Andy

  3. Do you have rider policies in the U.K ?

    The thinking is that I am insured rather than the bike - and they reason that a person can only ride one bike at a time. On this basis the policy covers all bikes including friends bikes and even demonstrator bikes from the dealer. Cost is no different to normal.

    That is what I have got.
     
  4. used to be what everyone had "back in the day". from what was norwich union. but don't believe they exist any longer

  5. With the greatest respect Andy, I'd not want to put even the best of Friends on my insurance.
    If they have an accident it's your insurance that's claimed on, loses it NCB, is effected for years, etc.

  8. Bike is off road and not insured at all, hence why there's a problem, current wife hasn't ridden for 5 years or so
     
  9. Think current wife said that actually so thanks
     
  10. He doesn't have a bike currently, hence borrowing current wife's

  13. Yep, thinking of uninstalling wife 2.0 and installing Girlfriend 3.0; apparently they won't run well together

  14. You will need Conversion software 7.0
     
  15. Not sure how long he wants it for, as this type of thing is very expensive, but at least he isn't risking a friendship

  16. Thread moved
     
  17. It's all sorted, just transferred legal ownership rather than registered keeper, he's now insured for himself as legal owner

  18. Interesting conclusion. I've never had to produce anything to an insurer that shows I'm the owner of any vehicle - just a 'yes' or tickbox.
     
  19. Wasn't worth the risk of not doing it, nothing sent to insurer, just an email between us
