I called my insurance company this morning (Citroen Insurance) and asked for a quote to add the Mrs to the insurance. Strangely, they said that my premium would now be £15 cheaper for the rest of the year, about 8 months. How does this work? I was expecting to pay more cash, especially if they had seen her driving.

Something to do with sharing the driving I believe! My dad's last policy was cheaper with my mum on it who hasn't driven for 25 years!!!

Cheers for that. Still not going to let her drive it though. Maybe if she's really nice.

I think it's due to adding a woman, because they are accepted as a lower risk. Adding the wife saves me nearly £200 and she never drives it. Too fast and scary

i dont have a wife but would it do the same if i added my girlfriend to my insurance?

I'm not married either. As long as you live at the same address it works out cheaper.

On my previous policy I added my girlfriend (a learner with a provisional licence) and there was no extra cost!
Was told my premium would be reduced when she passed her test!Crazy if U ask me...

I hope this isn't a bad thing, posting this on two threads :-

Get this, my wife is Turkish, and has been in the country for 8 months. OK, I don't have a Scooby..yet, it's a Rover 216GSi, but I was getting on average a £50 reduction putting her on my insurance as a second driver on a provisional licence (most companies won't take the international licence option)...

I'll post this again then
I added my parent's to my policy (same address) but rather than lowering the premium it went up £120 a year!!!
