Car owner as a secondary driver
by Beatriz
(Richmond hill)
My boyfriend was recently bankrupt so i am getting the car financing under my name. Unfortunately i am a newcomer to Ontario so my insurance premium is extremely high. The car will be driven almost exclusively by my boyfriend, can he be listed as the primary driver and, if so, could I get a better rate?
Boyfriend as Primary Driver?
Hi Beatriz,
You should be able to list him as the primary driver and you as secondary. This will help rates a bit. Shop around to find an insurer that will do this if yours says no.
Please be sure to discuss this further with a licensed insurance representative. Oh, and by the way, are your rates too high? Check here:
