CXC3000 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 That the more 'named' drivers you add on to your policy, the cheaper it gets ? I thought it would actually increase the premium ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitisbad Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Not sure about the more you add, but putting ones mother as a named driver does seem to reduce the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 No, but if a young/inexperienced policy holder names older/more experienced drivers, that does usually reduce the premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawny1970 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 whatt gets me about car insurance is your premium is based on your post code, even though most claims are via accident that happen whilst driving away from your home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 It's possible that some adverts will say "the more named drivers you add the cheaper it gets" meaning that the cost per driver comes down - if, for instance, naming one driver would cost £1000 but naming two drivers would cost £1500. I don't know if that's the case; I don't pay much attention to many adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 That the more 'named' drivers you add on to your policy, the cheaper it gets ? I thought it would actually increase the premium ? Yes, it worked out that way for me. I did it after somebody at work mentioned it. Was a bit sceptical, but it knocked another £40-£50 off just by having my better half on as a named driver.

alchresearch Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I've done it for the past five years. Its reduced the premium from £60 to £200 per annum over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
