Insurance for 1602

Dave

I came up against exactly the same problem with my other half.  Despite her having an exemplary driving record, because she is under 30 years old it was a case of pay the high premium or not insure her.

In the end I never did find a reasonable quote and so had to stump up £500+ for the privilege.  And she was only a named driver.  Sorry, I don't know what the answer is but I sympathise with you.

When I recently removed her from the insurance they still tried to crucify me with only a marginally reduced quote (£400).  I confronted them with a competitive quote from elsewhere and got it reduced to £125.  So, they would have shafted me given half the chance, despite 8 years of custom.  Glad I got that off my chest.

By the way, if you work in the media - never admit to being a journalist.  Insurance companies think that you're giving celebrities lifts in your car, here, there and everywhere!!!  Megabuck payouts if you have a crash and the celeb is injured, therefore skyhigh premium.  Sounds bizzare but true.
