    Hi All,

    I got my renewal in the post this morning from Liberty - €545, an increase of about €80 I believe.

    I started shopping around and got a quote online from Aviva for €397, with the other half down as a named driver. He already has car insurance with Aviva. However, we are not yet married don't live together, currently. Does this matter? I can't find anything in their terms and conditions about it!

    Does anyone else have any experience they would like to share?

    You don't need to be married to put him as a named driver! I have the girlfriend down as named drive since 2009 which greatly reduced my insurance! I have her down as common law partner! Also have a friend down as 2nd named driver and no relation which brought it down more!

    I know we don't have to be married :p It's just that I've noticed some companies specify whether your spouse/partner has a car insured with them at the same address.

    Thanks a million for the reply though, I'm going to go ahead with the quote I got!
