I understand that my partner would probably be viewed as less of a risk than me and that they might view it as the driving being shared. But they know she has her own car and policy. The insurance agent told me it doesn't matter if she never drives mine (which she probably won't).

I had heard of discounts for it in the past but €205 just doesn't seem logical to me at all. Not that I'm complaining!

If your partner has their own car or van etc then that's potential customer for the insurer and if you promote the couples rate then that's new policy 50% sold !!
