More than 3 named drivers?

hello. I understand you’re allowed two named drivers as part of your motability lease, and one extra for a fee. I was wondering, would I be able to pay for a 4th and a 5th named driver? I do not have one individual carer but my mum & step dad, my boyfriend and my dad all help me. I would be a named driver but ideally, it would make my life a lot less stressful if all 4 of them could be named on my car. I have good specific reasons for each person and circumstance. However, I will just say that the car would live and remain in my possession, so nobody would use it or be able to use it to benefit themselves and not me. I won’t be able to drive all the time and I rely on all of them individually and for different reasons. I am going to call RSA motability tomorrow and ask but I was curious to see if anybody else has already done so. For clarification, I do not yet have a motability lease. I went looking at cars today with my dad, and we have found a suitable one. I just have to decide which 3 people should be named and who should be left off. I understand that temporary drivers are allowed but I see all these people regularly, and they’ll all be helping me use my car for my own personal needs. Therefore temporary drivers insurance would not be suitable for us. Thank you for ready this much gobbledygook. I hope this makes sense, I am very tired. Goodnight!

Pleased to meet you.
You can flip flop the named drivers as the need arises.
By way of example my wife and I are the named drivers, but sometimes I drop off and name either my son or daughter.
You need them to be with you, when you phone RSA, as they are asked questions, this is free.
You can add drivers for a fee £75 pa.
There is also a scheme you can have multiple drivers, not sure of costs.
Give RSA a ring, I have always found them very helpful.
No jumping through hoops!!
Best wishes.

I have an open insurance policy for my Motability Car as I employ several assistants who all need to drive my car. I am not sure that this would work for you with all your named drivers being family or friends but it would definitely be worth enquiring whether your insurance policy can put something similar in place. I would advise that you phone Motability as I have always found them extremely helpful. I hope this helps and wish you the best of luck with your new Motability car.
