Car insurance: "wife" more expensive than "partner"???

Hi

It's insurance renewal time.

I'm due to get married soon after the renewal date, so I've just done 2 quotes to see if being married made my insurance much cheaper.

To my shock, my insurance is £40 more expensive with me and my "wife" insured to drive than it is with me and my "common law partner".

I'm confused:

1. That means that my driving will be (statiscally) worse as a married man (and wife)

2. Money Supermarket always used to say in the note "some insurers give dicounts to married couples" or words to that effect.

Does anyone have an explanation? This was done via "confused" and it is the same for a number of insurers.

That means, when I ring up in a few weeks time to give my insurance company the good news, they'll say "congratulations, that's £40 + 12.50 admin fee please.".....

You hoping.
Mid term change so double that to at least £80 + the admin fee of up to £50, and don't forget the second admin fee you're have to pay to change her name a well.
