Hi All
basically i wanted to put my lady as a named driver on my car insurance, i rang up more than and they said it would be just over £200 for rest of policy, i told her this and we waited till she got paid. i then rang up again and the guy on the phone put her on it and didnt even ask for payment, i have received the documents saying shes on it and no bill whatsoever
whats going on or am i lucky?

They probably meant the premium for the rest of the year would be £200 not an additional £200.
Unless your girlfriend is a high risk it normally works out cheaper to have them on your policy.0 -
of course shes high risk she's a woman!
just kidding, no she is provisional and they said it would be just over 200 to add her to the policy, its been over 2 months now. i would have come on here sooner but logging is is a !!!!!!! nightmare
what i dont get is big companies like more than dont make mistakes0 -
1. Have you checked the paperwork thoroughly to check her details, licence etc are properly recorded?
2. Could they have meant that the excess if she was driving would be £200 more in the event of a claim?0 -
Check your card/bank statement in case they simply used the same payment details as used initially to set up the policy. It could be they have debited the payment on the basis that you phoned up and accepted the quote given during the previous phone call. Sounds odd though. Even when I added someone to my policy they were very clear about how much they would charge and asked me to confirm I was happy to go ahead. That said you could just have been very lucky! :cool:0

Where did you get that from, all companies make mistakes and often the bigger the company the more mistakes. More Than definatetly make mistakes
Has it occured to you that they have not billed you as they have not added her0
