    Additional Driver’s Profile: The additional driver might have been considered low risk (e.g., someone with a clean driving record, more experience, etc.). Removing them might increase the overall risk assessment of the policy, leading to a higher premium.
    Primary Driver's Profile: If the remaining primary driver is considered higher risk (e.g., younger, less experienced, with previous claims), removing a lower-risk additional driver could lead to a higher premium.

    Some insurers offer discounts for having multiple drivers on the policy, especially if the additional driver is considered a safer driver. Removing the additional driver could mean losing this discount, which might increase the overall cost.

    • Mid-Term Adjustments: Insurance policies often have terms and conditions regarding mid-term adjustments (such as adding or removing drivers). Some policies may have fees or administrative charges for making changes, which could negate any potential refund.
    • No Refund Policy: Certain policies might not offer refunds or prorated adjustments if changes are made mid-term, especially if the policy period is close to its end.

    @miketam Hey there, thanks for getting in touch!

    As @swarmpresident has kindly pointed out, there are many variables and rating factors that are taken into account when a driver is removed from a policy. This can sometimes result in the premium increasing, I'm afraid.

    If you have any further questions, please let me know.
