I currently have 1 car (fiesta st) and have had my license for about 9 years, my wife has driven most of her life but has only held a Uk license (automatic only) for under a year

I have Just ordered a new car, I will be the owner and registered keeper , my wife will use it for work Monday to Friday , short drive less than 1km, I will drive it all other times

I will keep the fiesta and use that for work


What would probably be the best way(cheapest) to insure both cars , fiesta st solely for me and new car for me and the missus?
 
My ncb is 9 years , mrs has none

New car is automatic , I wanted auto and it make sense that she can also drive it


The car is bought and will be registered to me as she wouldn’t be able to get the finance , we’re both paying halfs though (or probably in my wife’s maths that means I pay 75% haha)

The car was originally for me and still is really , it just makes more financial sense atm to keep my fiesta and she can use the new car for commuting to work

I’m not sure if I should class her as the main driver as she will drive it for about 15 minutes per day and me mostly the rest of the time , I don’t know how it all works as it will probably end up me spending more actual time behind the wheel but maybe simpler just to class her as the main
 
If it’s going to take her 15 minutes to do 2km maybe she should just walk instead..?

I’ve just checked on Google maps and I was way out with my guess of less than 1km, it’s actually 1.5 miles which is about 30 minutes to walk

Wife should walk to work and stop being lazy

She’s far from a lazy person but walking is not a strong point for her, she also has a bad knee which miraculously doesn’t hurt when walking around clothes shops ;)



Thanks for the advice guys , I’ll look into multi car policies with with wife named as main driver on new car
