Talking If your young...

I just got my car insurance with elephant for 」700. It was ment to be 」1100, but i put both my parents on the insurance which made it go down 」200 per parents. And some people say parents are useless.

How old are you?. What area? and how many years NCB?. Just thought this data would be more useful for people. Sound useful.

Yeah I add my dad onto my insurance as a named driver and it knocks at least 」150 off . Has the added benefit that he can drive my car to come pick me up when im pi**ed .

Re: If your young...

I don't see why this should be the case though. Having parents able to drive the car does not a safer driver make.

Well the theory behind it I guess is that the named driver will be driving for at least part of the policy's life span reducing the risk. But yeah you have a point.

Nearly a 3rd off the risk? Should be made illegal - discrimination against orphans.

Have you read the thread properly?. What we are talking about is getting a policy out in your own name and adding someone / parent whos older as a named driver which is perfectly legal.

Re: If your young...

This has always been a good way to reduce premiums, nothing wrong with it - adding a named drivers tends to mitigate the risk, hence a lower premium in the majority of cases.
