If it makes it more expensive dont add her, if it makes it cheaper then do.
If its more expensive ask if she would like to pay the difference?

Simples!

Depends how she drives I guess. My wife drove mine but shat it when it came on boost so only ever cruised about in it.

If your mrs thinks she can drive quick then beware as they can catch you out!

Wouldn't bother after my stupid ex bint managed to reverse into a hedge scratching the boot and kerbed my brand new 18's all within 20 minutes. I know there are plenty of women out there who are very capable but on the whole...... women can't drive for shit.

(that should get some knickers in a flap)

its one thing putting her on the insurance to lower the premium but its another thing trusting her with your pride and joy. only you can make that choice.

My insurance nearly halved when I put my mrs on the policy for my Sapphire .Best of it was she only had a provisional licence and still has,even now at 32 the lazy cow !!
No brainer really for me.
