    Yes, putting one of your parents on your insurance as a named driver may reduce your policy. By how much I can't say, just shop around

    thanks a lot bro....

    so i can get a better car too, so say i get my mum she has no points , and no claims since she began driving 6 years ago.

    she is with axa, she would have to be on axa on my car too right? and would you recommend i take comprehensive or third party insurance?

    both of you will be on AXA, best go for full comprehensive, especially considering your going under someone, its very very cheap so take advantage of it

    if you go to Liberty Insurance, even as a named driver you will be able to build up your no claims bonus, which in a few years will bring your insurance right down
