Outright discrimination!! if you are a widow/single grrrr... insurance!

yes I agree trendy in time I may start to look at holidays (single room etc) and I have seen the silly supplements, it's almost discrimination for single travelers. (bit like the tin of beans scenario, a small tin of beans only a few pence less than large tin) bean for bean it costs more to buy the smaller tin!! [huh]!

It might be..... if single you are likely to use your bike more.
If married it is possibly assumed that some traveling would be done in the (assumed) car of dh.
Just a thought.

Same discrimination as the Single Supplement applied to holidays. Makes it impossible to afford many holidays,especially those abroad. Not many things make me angry, but that REALLY MAKES ME MAD. I did not choose to lose my DH!

huh!! and now!! £48 added to my scooter insurance because I am "unemployed" will I ever get going.!! I put homemaker, as thats what I usually but I should have put "unemployed" didn't think it mattered that much,but anyway as the company was rude and off hand I cancelled the insurance ( which cost me £42)only had it 2 days.Tut...back to the drawing board

it must be the same for car insurance etc...wrong totally wrong!

I think it's all to do with statistics, biker.

Unfair to those of us who are widowed or single, yes, but then I always thought it was quite odd that the car insurance quote I had for my car was lower if I added DH as another named driver. Why?

Perhaps they think all singletons are by definition reckless and careless...

Unfair situation and I should like to hear their explanation.

just to make sure it wasn't a fluke...I tried diff site and yes..

widowed - £122
married - £111
