Family car insurance

You can add named drivers to your car insurance policy, including a family member. It's important to bear in mind that adding a family member as a named driver to your policy can impact the price of your insurance, either negatively or positively, depending on various factors, such as their age and driving history. If you add a family member or any other named drivers to your policy, it's essential to remember that the main driver should always be the person who will primarily be driving the car.  If you're insured with Ageas, you can contact us on 0345 165 0570 to add a named driver to your policy. 

The type of family car you buy will always depend on your own family's needs. While a hatchback or small SUV may be suitable for some families, larger families may be better off with a seven-seater. How much you'll pay to insure your family car will depends on a number of factors that include your age, your driving history, who's driving the car, where you park your car overnight and the model of vehicle you go for. One thing some insurers may look at is the insurance group of the car you’d like covered. Insurance groups are bandings from 1-50, which look at the level of risk and costs associated with your car. Cars placed in higher groups are usually more expensive to insure. Before you settle on a family car, it may be worth checking which insurance group it falls under and even get an insurance quote in advance to have an idea of how much you could pay.
