We cover anyone who drives your car, even if you haven't listed them on your policy.1

However, your excess may be affected if a driver isn’t listed.

  • An additional excess (known as an undisclosed driver excess) applies where a driver is 25 years of age or older and is not listed on your policy
  • A higher additional excess (known as an undisclosed driver age excess) applies if the unlisted driver is under 25 years of age
  • You won't have to pay either of these additional excesses if the driver is listed on your policy.

Special note for learner drivers:

You don't need to list learner drivers on your policy. Instead, we base any excess related to a claim when the vehicle was driven by a learner driver on the excess of the supervising driver. This excess may be higher if the supervising driver is not listed on your policy.
