Anyone know an insurer/broker that takes a sensible view of au pairs - my current insurer has suddenly decided that it would be cheaper to put Osama Bin Laden on my policy.
Thanks

My wifes ex-husband divorced her and went off with the au pair.
I'm starting to wonder if it was a ploy to get cheaper car insurance!

He's already on our commercial vans policy. As long as he is over 23 and holds a current driving licence, not necessarily British.

I have seen the van you gave to Osama, it was very tatty and had a Torra Borra caves sticker on it?

And I thought I was gonna be smart by asking - Insuring her for what?
Quick think of a motoring angle to this before DD spots it!

It also I had a bumper sticker saying "If you can read this you need more life insurance."

What will she be driving, and what country's licence does she have? Will she be driving your/your wife's car, or another car?

And equally as important, what does she look like?

Czech, on an EC licence driving a 1.0 Yaris.
If you send me your private email address I'll see if HE wants to get in touch with you!
|
Ah.
Er.....You're ok thanks. Thanks for the offer though ;-)

Why not get your Au Pair to convert his licence to a full UK one? There is a form available from the DVLA.
That way you are insuring a UK licence holder for a UK car - much easier!!
He could then change back if he ever went back home.

I just checked the DVLA site - EC licences don't need to be changed for 3 years after arriving in the UK, by which time he'll back home. Thanks for the suggestion though. The insurance co said EC/UK didn't make a difference.
They wanted to classify the Au Pair driving the kids as Business Use. I had a big row with them pointing out that in the eyes of the Home Office and Inland Rev. au pairs are not employees, but classed as members of the family. The woman I was rowing with was basing her decision on the fact that she had been a nanny some years ago.
She spoke to the underwriters who presumably pointed out that that wasn't exactly a strong basis for her decision and it has been sorted with a small uplift in premium.
It's amazing what happens you stand up to someone talking lazy nonsense dressed up as "company policy"
