Driving other cars

Basq

Rang Axa's office but they're closed til the morning..

Am curious as to whether my policy has "open drive" - as sharing the drive to Cork in the girlfriend's car - she is fully insured - as these statements seem to be contradicting.

Under my insurance:

Section 1 - Loss and Damage to your Car
* Loss or damage to a car you borrow from another person - Not Applicable

Section 5 - Liability to Others
* Liability whilst driving vehicles not owned by the insured - Applies

I'm presuming the latter covers me.

Actually.. yeah, probably Third Party cover on reflection.

I would read that as you have 3rd party but not comprehensive

So legal to drive but damage to gf car not covered

That's not open drive anyway. Open drive means anyone can drive your car under your insurance. You mean third party extension. And the terms make sense you only drive the other partys car third party. If it gets damaged, you is on the hook for it!

TPO on the GF's car, as said. I'm not sure if they still do it, but AXA gave me full-comp on other cars up to 2l after I'd been with them for three years.
