Maybe I am over cautious but when I've browsed sites to check options I use dummy names to avoid any issues.

I would clear the cookies also before you go back to a site. They use those to track people logging into their web site and adjust prices accordingly. It isn't the only way they do tracking but it is one you can control. The airline sites track people so that they can increase the prices for people who come back a second time. They assume that you have been elsewhere and not found a better deal so they try to take advantage of that. I would not be surprised to find insurance doing that also.

Completely agree with catsdad, as your wife does the most miles she is the main driver, so the insurance should be in her name.

I do not see what difference it makes as to who you put as the main driver, and since you both use the car I do not reckon that the mileage makes a difference either unless it is excessive.

I would only suggest ( don't really know for sure ) that the person who has had their driving license the longest go as main driver as it may reduce the cost of the insurance, the idea being the more experience you have the less likely you are to have an accident.

Thank you for your replies

I guess i have been interpreting "main driver" differently to what the insurance companies will think, Because i will cover more miles in the car over the year than the wife, But only drive the car a couple of times a week compared to the wife driving 5 times a week.

I was concerned about getting my wife some no claims on her driving history, But maybe wait a few more years.

Regards NCD, I always protect.

Regards Business usage, My wife does work in a restaurant and i keep telling her NOT to use the car for anything, and last night on Ch 5 was a Police program where a lady got caught using her mobile and she told the police that she was checking with her boss where the delivery address was, She had no business insurance and her car was taken off her.

My insurance is due next month, so yes, I will check it all out and make sure everything is above board

My wife does more miles than me due to going back and forth to work

Confused dot com?!

I was made aware that they would cancel the insurance from now until i re insured the car.

Just to make you aware, whenever you insure a car in the future when you are asked the question "have you ever had a policy cancelled" you will have to say yes. They may well accept your explanation that it was because the main driver had changed but if they don't you will be entering a whole world of pain and expense.
