Many companies won't even allow adding a newly qualified driver onto an existing policy holders insurance now because of 'fronting'.
very surprised at that growler....I was quoted mad money when I qualified a few years back, but the same broker, got a cheaper deal for me when I named my now ex as a 2nd name driver. Think I saved over €300. Cost €800 at the time, 3 years on, and it's now €500. All the quotes I received were from Aviva / Hibernian. The ex had 5 years no claims bonus with her in insurance. All I had to do was to get a letter from her insurer. Have you asked to try and get a new policy for yoru daughter and add lets say you, or your wife onto it as 2nd named driver and hopefully it will bring the cost down?
Either way, they are all robbing f*ckers! They sting the younger crowd, yes I agree that there are a small number of young dopes on the road that ruin it for all us young un's, but the worst drivers I see on the roads are so called expereinced drivers with years under their belt who break every [oops] rule there is!
You name it, I've tried it.
Every configuration imaginable.
Even rang up one of these companies ( iKube)that put a 'black box' recorder in the car to monitor driving behaviour.
The geezer said he wouldn't bother taking my details unless I insisted,as he wouldn't be able to get a quote for under 3 bloody GRAND!
He also agreed that the whole industry is pricing itself out of the market, but advised me to ring back in a month or two when they'll possibly have secured some better deals with other insurance companies.
Meanwhile, the newly qualidied Miss G is now resigned to the fact that she won't be driving anywhere anytime in the forseeab;e future.
The joy of passing her test was extremely short lived thanks to these thieving scum bags.
