possibly but she still has 2 month left on her insurance and would be paying it for nothing so maybe if she could add my car onto her policy then i woudnt have to pay extra to add her onto mine

I would say its not possible as if you crash there's nothing to say you wont try to claim through both companies

No but you can put her on to your insurance as a second driver and that will let her drive your car , it will just raise our insurance price up a little .

What does adding his girlfriend to his policy have to do with your insurance price going up? Absolutely fuck all

It is not illegal to have two insurance policies for two cars. However as has already be touched upon, it is highly unadvised for the simple reason that neither insurance company will declare themselves liable to indemnify you. Therefore, it is highly unlike either company will pay out for your (or 3rd parties) losses if you have two policies. I'd do my best to avoid it mate.

My Dad tried to add me as a named driver on his 1.2 Fiesta and they wanted £325 extra!! Hopefully it won't cost you too much

you should be able to, because your insurance policy is for you, hers would be for her so cant see why there would be a problem having two policys as its simple, if she crashed when driving it would go through her policy as its her policy thats being used while she is driving and if you crash would go through yours as its your policy thats being used when your driving it
