Conversation.


Me, Hi can you put daughter on as named driver.

Person on phone, Norwich Union yer Sir 998cc Nissan Micra renewal is January thats £522.98 please.

Me, Oh well it was £115 fully comp for me and Mrs Highlander.

POP, Yes well it still is.

Me, So how much till January.

POP, £522.98 Sir.

Me, And then

POP, $522.98 plus £115 Sir.

Me, So £522.98 for 9 weeks then £533.98 plus £115.

POP, Yes.


I called Direct line and got £420 for wife daughter and myseld fully comp no claims protection free windscreen cover all the trimmings and daughter gets her own no claims bonus even though she's a named driver on my insurance.

Just called Norwich Union back and cancelled taking out Direct line.

Sorted has anyone else found such a huge hike because they wanted to let their kids learn to drive.

do a search for quinn insurance i think it is based in Ireland as well insured the 18 yr old fiesta with them with the wife as driver and the boy as a named learner driver and we got it for about £500 fully comp.
everywhere else we tried were over 1k for us to get him insured.Plus this quinn insurance specialises in young drivers

When I first tried to insure the car for myself it was more expensive they said if I had female driver on the ploicy it would be cheeper.

My wife has had 4 accidents against my none but they put her on and knocked £110 off original quote.

I hate Norwich Union. Was with them for a year, and that was more than enough time. The final reason to leave was that when my renewal quote came through it was £1,500. Considering the previous year I was £900, had no claims, no points, no nothing. Went to Adrian Flux and pay £750 per year now. The only plus side to being with Norwich Union is that I was staring to learn Hindi, after chatting with their call center

Can I add her to mine? I'm always looking for ways to save money
