We renewed the insurance on our Jeep last week. Got a good renewal quote, but as you should, decided to phone up and see if we could get any better. We had a couple of changes to give them, namely my changing from housewife to retired, but also the fact that we had now got a tow ball on new Jeep. After a discussion, we got a bit off for change of my status, but they gave us another £50 off (yes, OFF)😁 because we had a tow ball fitted. Apparently it’s because it lessens the possible damage to our car if we are in a rear end shunt!😱 We had never come across this before, and rather happy to have it work in our favour. Not sure on removable/retractable tow balls though.......

We use NFU Mutual to cover both car and MH. It seems very competitive and I have just renewed but did come across an anomaly. Dorset Lady is covered for both vehicles but never drives the MH. I spoke to NFUM about removing her from that vehicle but that would have put the premium up by over £60 p.a.

I have a friend who added their neighbour to a policy and got it cheaper! Yes it is cheaper to have two named drivers if each has access to drive the others vehicle. Fliss never drives the X-Trail but is insured to as it is cheaper than not

Its a common anomaly, my car is cheaper with a named driver than not as is hers. I tried NFU for house insurance due to their good reputation but they wouldnt cover 60+days unoccupancy.

It does indeed. We insure car and MH with NFU and find them very reasonable and efficient. How strange that they were so expensive for you, Twocals.

Apparently we are classed as city area, no other explanation. Hey ho life goes on 😁

Yes, we had the same. Seems we 'ladies' are useful after all.
