AlexW Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I’m viewing a new car on Thursday and I was playing around with car insurance quotes on compare the market. Car is a 2013 Carrera S. When the website opened it had saved my old details from a few years ago so I updated the car and got a quote: £690. Not too bad I guess. But then I addes my partner on, updated to co habiting: £1200 😳 Myself 37 with 15 years no claims and no convictions etc etc. Her 50 with 20 years no claims and no convictions. How can adding her add £510 to the quote?? I could understand if she had 9 points and a bunch of accidents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaregs Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Cougars come at a premium mate.😀 Might be worth calling around a bit, see if you can get an explanation. Does your partner have a car also? If so try multi car insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexW Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Fiddled about a bit more and on a standard Carrera she adds £20. On the Carrera S she adds £450 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Does she need to be insured on it when she has a Macan? Wife isn’t on mine 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexW Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think I’d lose my nuts if she wasn’t 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Carrera S she adds £450 🤔 Try giving A Plan a ring - look on the Insurance thread - just insured my Fiesta and my 987 SE with them - Fiesta came in at over £500 on the Meerkat as had a little ding last year but had protected no claims and didn't claim on mine and the Box came in at £230 before extras with A Plan and the Fiesta at £270 as they mirrored my NCD. Don't listen to the others, you are a lucky man - Cougars are a gift 😉Perhaps don't tell her you told the forum her age🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMA Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 As above, try A-Plan (Thatcham branch) and Adrian Flux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southy Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Try Locktons - best Porsche cover - they use to give you free first year to PCGB as well, think thats ended now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Strange, in my experience adding a spouse or partner to a policy usually decreases the premium. Might be worth checking that you have entered all her details correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypit Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I've just used A Plan to insure 5 vehicles, the Boxster, a much modified Evo 8, my work van, a Mk1 Mr2 and my other halfs Lexus. We're both 50 or over, both have 3 points and I had a claim against me last year for £2700. I paid £1375 all in, less than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexW Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 I’ll give A plan a ring. LVE have quoted £579 which is better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
