car insurance, adding someone on insurance ? complicated !
hi, it is a bit complicated, my husbands credit rating is bad, he needed a car and his friend agreed to buy a car on his name and my husband is paying the finance.
Now before they left Arnold Clark where they bought the car, the salesperson told them they need to put the friends name on the insurance as well as my name and my husbands. and we did but it is quite expensive to add him.
Now car insurance is up for renewal and im thinking, is it required by law for this guy to be on our insurance, he is not driving the car at all, only me and my husband. but this guy is the owner as logbook is on his name. and finance is on this guys name.
thank you for taking time to read, hoping to hear good news.

If it is a hire purchase agreement, the actual ownership of the car is with the HP finance company, & the name of the person who put up the finance is irrelevant. In this situation I would be pretty sure there is no reason at all for the friend's name to be on the insurance, or on the log book. The log book is not a record of ownership - just of the keeper of the car.
If the finance is not HP then the friend owns the car - & the sale invoice will (or should) have been made out to him. It may then be that his name should be on the insurance - perhaps someone with more knowledge can comment.
