I have been looking into adding my son (just 17) as an additional driver, and as Hibernian offer a reasonably good deal, I wondered if anyone knows of a comparable/better deal?
If you insure with Hibernian, you can add a learner driver for up to 6 months for free(!) provided he/she takes a course of 10 driving lessons (they will throw in an 11th for free) with Hibernian School of Motoring for €380.
My existing insurer (with whom I am very happy) will not insure anyone under 25, others limit cover to over 21, etc.
The Hibernian cover is a bit dearer, mainly cos with UK licences (see previous threads about not changing to Irish licences) we cannot avail of 20% discount for no penalty points. On this point, is this not unconstitutional, or something like that, as ANY European driving licence is meant to be as acceptable in one country as another? This is only a minor point though, perhaps for discussion another day!
