Hi, do you have to inform your insurance company if you are teaching your son/daughter to drive in your own car? They are also having proper lessons.

10.58 //This company does it for a typical price of about £220 for 180 days' cover.//

Where did you get that figure from?

We looked into this and its very dependant on what car the parent is driving - you will not get the same quote for a 999cc car as you would for a 1400cc and it shoots up if you're driving an SUV.

"¹ Price based on £221.76 for a 180 day policy. This amount is currently achievable by drivers from over 440,000 households in the UK. Price and cover dependent on location."

In 1984 my daughter started to drive. At that time we had two cars, a 2 litre auto and a 1100cc manual. Both were covered for any driver and it cost us nothing for her to drive both cars. She had professional lessons, my wife had her drive her to school every morning and I took her out for an hour or so every evening after school. She was under instruction that whatever the instructor said was right and we just gave her the experience.

Usually the 'any driver' cover applies only to drivers over a specified age (often 25) who have held a full driving licence for x amount of years. That sort of cover is becoming less common.
