How do you insure a car with two owners?

What is the best way to insure a car with two owners? My wife and I co-own a car and we were wondering how that will change the way we buy a policy.

“Insuring a car with two owners isn’t much different from insuring a car with a single owner. The general rule is that anyone who regularly uses the vehicle should be listed on the insurance policy.
That being said, both you and your wife will need to be listed. And if you have any children or relatives who also use the car, you’ll want to include them, as well.
Unfortunately, the more people you have on your policy, the higher your premium will be. Since each person represents a unique level of risk, the price will also vary depending on each insured driver’s age, driving history, and credit score (among other factors).
Try not to worry too much about the price though, as most providers offer a variety of discounts that can help
keep the cost of insurance
relatively low.
