    It reduced my premium by £150 just by putting my mum on my insurance. :money:

  • Can anyone suggest a solution to a problem that my son is coming across when looking around for a quote for his second year of car insurance,which is all legal and above board in his name etc, with my husband and I as named drivers on a V reg, Clio grande 1.2.
    He took out his insurance in October last year as a provisional driver when he got his car so that he could get some practice in before his test. He passed his test after just 4 weeks and we paid the (phenomenal:eek: ) price for the insurance to change the same day. Now obviously we are looking around for a new quote, which starts before he has had his full licence a year,although he has had his insurance for a year, but all the insurance companies ask how long you have held a full license. If he puts in the correct option which is 11 months and with pass plus the quotes come out at £2500 - £3000, but if he puts in a full year; which it will be 4 weeks later it, comes down to £1300 fully comp!
    Does anyone have any suggestions of how to legally get round this loophole?
    We would be grateful for any advice:T
