Car Insurance

[Pipster007]

I had a bit of a strange one the other day. I rang the insurers to add my sister onto my policy for the Golf, and they said that's no problem..........I can have a £53.70 refund.

 

So how does that work? My premium was £365ish, and now when I add my sister, it drops to £310ish

 

Still, thats £53 quids worth of booze to drink at the OSF Xmas bash

If she's older and had more driving experience

 

When my missus passed her test and added me to her insurance it was cheaper for her .

[Pipster007]

Nope. I'm older. I'm 39, she's 36. I passed my test in 1987 and she in 1989.

 

I just found found it to be strange that my insurance came down as soon as I added her to it

because its a lady driver

because its a lady driver

 

and we are better drivers FACT

therefore as your sister will be using your car its calculated at a percentage that you will be driving the car less therefore you get a refund

Ok...but when the fella is'nt using the car the lady will be using it hence the car doing more mile's and spending more time on the road and more chance of a bump ?

well you'd of thought it would be more but i added my freind to my escort insurance and she's on 4 months older than me and that knocked about £20 off of the cost, it must just be beacuse they are considered safer drivers as if i'm honest (oh i'm going to die for saying this) i feel safer being a passanger with a lady driver they dont tend to do stupid things

its a fair point, they may (for the most part) not be as gooder drivers as man, but blokes do stupid things!!!

My other half is on both my insurances as its always cheaper.

 

Why ?, I don't know but it is. So if you haven't got a female on your policy, get one !!
