Title: Equal car insurance?
Post by: Bionic on 03 January 2013, 08:24:55
Bit puzzled about what will now ensue that the ladies will have to pay the same as the men for car insurance. Will it transpire that the insurance companies will simply grab the extra or will they, as they ought to, proportionally reduce the premiums we all pay?
Am I living in a dreamworld?
Silly sod  ::) I already know that they will not give us any reduction cos that is not what the insurance game is about at all. They want our money and they want to keep it if they can possibly remotely do so by using some almost unheard of sub-sub-sub clause in tiny tiny print.
Will the government of the EU insist that they will give a fair play to it and make certain that the insurers do not profit by the new act?
Opinions please.........

A few years back my Ex got a quote from Sheila's Wheels for Her Car, the so called specialist Car Insurance for Women only, come up something like 325 Full Com which she was happy with, she then asked the question How Much More to add Me as a Named Driver, just in case I occasionally needed to ferry our Boys around in Her Car, the quote came back as adding me at around -120 less for the whole Policy???. Never could get my head around that one!

I dunno if it's a conincidence but the renewal for the omega I used to have has come through £200 cheaper.  No change of address, job and only 1 more years NCB.  I just wish it was that little for the jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!  ;D
