Named driver on a disability car question

Hey there, im currently a named driver on my grandfathers disability car, does anyone know if i can insure my own car with the same insurer getting a discount becuase of this, or if it will affect my premium for other insurers, looking for ways to save money as my car insurence went from £260 to £640 this year for no reason :mad: Thats with seven years no claims on a 1.4 focus, and thats best price after doing about 40 quotes directly and using price comparision sites.
thanks for any advice.

    You're best phoning companies direct. I know Direct Line do a matching policy where you don't get awarded NCB but instead get a discount eqiuvalent to the percentage you'd have got with NCB.

    Something must have caused a higher premium, They went up this year but not that much.

    Too many claims from your area?
