Have you tried putting your parents on?

kinda illegal if you put them as the main driver and the insurance may not let you claim. I found that adding my parents under my name pushed it up slightly with most insurers because they do a named driver only discount type of thing.

I was under the impression that having a parent as a second driver brought the price down, not up.

With Bell try sticking your parents on as named drivers and watch the price tumble!  :wink:

Fair enough... didnt work for me anyways. I wouldnt want my mum driving my car anyway... shes got a 1.2 and couldnt handle a 1.6 :cool:

Funny how i could get insured on her SEAT Ibiza for less than mine. (Thats with the value of her car set to £7000 and mine set to £500)
