Yes, if the policy covers them. 'Occasionally' is not an insurance category that creates cover by itself.
Named-driver cover is straightforward
If your partner will genuinely use the car, adding them as an additional driver may be the clearest arrangement. The price can rise or fall depending on the insurer and driver.
Be truthful about the main user
If you use it most often, say so. If your partner actually becomes the main user, update the insurer.
One-off borrowing still needs cover
A separate policy or valid driving-other-cars provision may sometimes apply, but never assume.
If two people will share the car, compare policies using the real driver arrangement; the cheapest insurer for one person may not be cheapest for two.
