I have just received the documents for my new car insurance (I haven't had to insure my own car for 30 years, so it's a bit of a shock to the system). One of the accompanying leaflets explained that my wife, as a named driver on the policy, would also be able to earn 'no claims' bonuses in case she ever chooses to ensure her own car with the same company.
Ho hum!

Sounds more like it's them that wants to ensure that she does.
(Note use of "them" as a singular for company-as-an-entity-of-unknown-gender.)
