Hi, my husband put me under his policy as a named driver and it only cost him a little over €200 for 6 months(he's with 123.ie). FYI I'm 39 though and that brought the insurance price down. I think Aviva is doing a deal for young learner drivers for lessons and insurance.

Have you tried a broker such as Hooper Dolan? My mam used them for two different insurance companies and it was the best price both times. I was named on her policy last year which worked out at €100/month. I want to say it was either Liberty or 123.

My latest quote with Liberty went from €3,500-4,000 down to €1,400 with my mam as a named driver, something I only found out through a broker.

AXA didn't want to insure me without a year driving experience, the funny thing is I'm driving on an open policy with AXA and they also rave about how they cover learner drivers so I'm sticking to brokers myself...
