I did this for years, adding both parents and then just my mum as it reduced the premium. Makes no odds now I'm in my 30's.

Interesting. I assume the parents are insulated from liability and losing NCB, from their off-springs possible incidents?

Just got a requote for my ZT, £233. Which is ok.


Decided to add my son, which would have added £1100 while he was a learner.

Just seems wrong - almost half the value of the car just to insure it - madness

Reminds me of that episode of top gear where they do the teenager car challenge.

Jeremy: "2 and a half thousand pounds is fifteen times more than the car is worth. What you're saying is i'm going to write it off completely fifteen times a year!"
