Not too sure what to make of this. Last time I checked I definitely was not a Sheila, but whatever car I put in confused.com, the cheapest decent insurance including the extras when paying monthly is Shelias' Wheels. Now I am including my wife on the car as a named driver, but really, I thought they were only for women drivers, and what the hell am I going to do with handbag cover?  Any one else comfortable enough with their masculinity to admit they are getting similar results?

I'm so manly I'm with them.
No masculinity issues here.
edit: though I didn't use the £50 free facial treatment I got when I signed up. I'm not that manly.

Reminds me of when Ms rix insured her first car. Her cheapest quote was with Diamond who iirc only provided policies for women, however when she added me as named driver her premium fell! lol

Is this something to do with the European ruling that says you can't discriminate between men and women for car insurance any more?

I don't believe that's in force yet, though simply changing your gender on Confused would soon tell you!

All insurance companies should adher to this by the end of the year so a lot of insurers are having to change the ratings they use and also open up the books to both sexes equally. Obviously they would rather try and get you on the books sooner rather than later so that would explain why insurers such as Sheila's wheels are now looking more favourable on us men
