Im hoping my THP DSport Plus will be chepaer than my RenaultSport Clio 200 ive just sold, that was group 18 i think? Paid £750 on that with a fault claim, 3 points and im a technician for Audi so that almost doubles it!!

i got mine for a k i thought tht was bad i was gettin quotes of 2 grand etc

My two penneth...... im 24 and its costing me around £1800 with Co-op insurance! I have 2 years no claims but these were built up as a named driver. I started my own policy with Co-op in Jan, and apparently i must do a year with them to allow my no claims to be transeferable to other companies. So basically iam stuck with Co-op at a daft price until Jan next year, when i should have 3 year NCD i can go anywhere with.

With regard to lowering your premium by adding an experience named driver, this is a new one on me and sounds very interesting! Would i be able to ring my insurer and add somebody at this point, or must it be done when setting up the policy?

You would be able to do it at anytime however will probably be charged an admin fee for it, have a feeling Co-op was about £35 but can't remember there. For me with Admiral my dad lowered mine by £40 and a close friend lowered it another £30.

This Isn't For A DS3 But Its A Good Tip For Anyone Whos Looking To lower Their Insurance...

My GF Is Looking At C2s And Her Quotes Have Been Mainly £2000 - £3000 On Her Own Name For The One She Wants...

She Added Her Mum, Dad + Gran To The Policy As Named Drivers And She's Got It To Under £800 !

+1. Saved over a grand on our first year, the 2nd year it increased it though for some reason, perhaps just because it was a different company

Companies vary - why not call them and say you're thinking of adding your Dad / Mum etc and say can they give you an idea of price.....and they may say you're get a rebate! Worth a call as like I say just say you're thinking of it! Even at my age (middle aged, where does time go?), adding my other half still makes about a 20% difference!!!! i.e. lower with her on the policy than just me on it!

Clive.

I'm 22 and I'm only paying £500 for my dstyle hdi90. I've been driving for 5 years and have 3
Years no claims with that named driver thing on direct line. They wanted £1000, went to another company that accepts direct lines named driver no claims. Got some discount for having my dad on it as well as multicar discount as whole family switched at once! Generally think the diesels are much cheaper to insure

[W17_BLK]

Have to agree with adding a named driver. My mum went on mine, took the price down by £350 annually, just means now I can't refuse her to take a shot sof it haha.

The joys of having a company car... no cost for the car, no insurance to pay as provided & 70% fuel refunded each month. Sorry guys.. :/

It's great sometimes to be older and wrinkly (well 42 actually)! I added my Wife to my policy, revised my job title a little and got my DS3 Racing insured for £270 fully comp protected, it was only £10 a year dearer for me than a 110Hdi

I'm 34 and Wife is 29 and with the DS3 DSport, Alfa Spider and Picasso all on the same policy it's only £600 for the lot. And thats bearing in mind that my job is a high risk category and Boo's job involves leaving the car on a RAF Base!

[CooperKiller]

I'm now the wrong side of 40+ and my latest insurance is almost 4 times what I paid last year now £900.00. Now that is with a specialist company as the car is now heavily modified. My point is to shop around as I was quoted by some of the online maket brokers brokers nearly 3 times that amount!

How does that work, Biggie? When I last looked into getting one policy to cover my 2 cars and the wife's Volvo, the best I could get was a discount (circa 10%) for having 3 policies with the same firm. It p*sses me off that although I can't physically drive 2 cars at the same time (never tried, tbh - looks risky, and my arms aren't long enough), I still have to have 2 policies covering my DS3 and Barchetta running concurrently (although obviously the cover for fire & theft needs to apply even when they're not being driven).

I'd be really keen to find a firm that would cover 2 or even 3 vehicles on 1 policy for a single named driver, on the basis that only 1 of them would be in use at any one time. That way, I could afford to keep an old Landie in the shed for winter emergencies too.
