As some of you know I've been looking to get my hands on a late model S10 as a beater and as a driver for my 17 year old son. So I finally find one I can live with but before I go ahead and buy it I decided to call up my insurance and get a quote(with the assumption my son will be a secondary driver)...My insurance company tell me that since I have 3 drivers in the house, and this will be the third car(LBC's and Camaro are with another company) my son will have to be primary driver on the S10 since my wife is already prinicple on the Caddy and I am principle on the Jag. Anyway with my son as the principle driver they quoted me $6,500!
Now I am in a position where I either have to pay the rediculous rate in order for my son to drive...or the only alternative I can think of is if I move the Jag over the other company with the LBC's and use it as a weekend car only. This will leave only the new truck and the Caddy as our two main drivers allowing my son to come on as secondary driver thus reaching a reasonable rate.
The part that gets me is that by forcing me to move one car to another firm(basically just to 'hide' it from them) their losing business.
After spending as much time on the road as I do i can understand why rates are so high....But you would think companies would want to keep customers instead of push them away.
