Insurance companies all have their criteria based on where you live, how long you've been driving, your gender, and how many accidents you've had. Every insurer ( mortgage quotes ) is different and that's why, when you get a quote, the premiums can vary wildly.

Some car insurers put safety first, and the insurer ‘Privilege' is one of them. They have an ‘insured and partner ( car insurance quotes ) policy' which rewards safer drivers in long-term relationships with lower premiums. Managing Director of Privilege, Ian Parker, describes the ethos behind it, saying: “The responsibility of being in a long-term relationship translates into safer driving”.

These examples illustrate the savings to be made from having your partner on the policy:

Example 2 – A 37-year-old with the same car and other details but living in Tonbridge, Kent ( cheap home insurance ) would be offered a premium of £270.90 for the year. With the addition of a 38-year-old man on the policy, the premiums falls by £21 to £249.90.
