Ray White Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Very few companies can compete with Tesco when it comes to insuring young drivers, at least that's what I have come to understand. A good way to lower the cost of your insurance if you are a young male is to add a parent or older sibling as a named driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Tesco is underwritten by The Royal Bank of Scotland, who also underwrite Virgin insurance, RBS, Natwest, Direct Line & maybe more nowadays, I would certainly try Direct Line and Tesco but remember it's the same company effectively. You will get intro bonus with both which is the same as 1yr no claims bonus (30% discount) - one thing also to bear in mind is if you have a high group car then your excesses will be huge! however a bigger voluntary excess will bring your premium down.

Nibor Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Try adding your mum or some other female relative as a named driver. Sometimes it has quite drastic effects on your premium.Generally though as a male under 30 expect to get your pants pulled down annually regardless of the insurance company.

Robbored Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Try adding your mum or some other female relative as a named driver. Sometimes it has quite drastic effects on your premium.Sadly that doesn't work anymore. If the insurance company suss what your doing then they wil invalidate your insurance.That happened to a mate of mine son. The main driver of the car has to be the named driver on the insurance.Its illegal now I think to do it the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can sometimes drastically reduce your premium, though it does seem completely illogical. It's not illegal in the least nor is it cause for invalidating the insurance if the named driver rarely drives the car. A friend of mine had his premium drop by £20 a month by adding his wife, and my brother got a similar reduction from adding his bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored is talking bollards again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
