I looked into adding someone as a named pilot on my PA-30. I pay
$2400/yr. The rate with the new person was over $5000 for the same
coverage. Of course you're not going to insure a twin for $1000, but
a friend of mine had a similar situation with a Champ. Adding a named
pilot more than doubled the insurance.

Bizarrely enough, adding a 0-hour student pilot to our Cessna 140 insurance
only resulted in about 25% increase, IIRC. Of course, that could have
something to do with flight instruction hours being statistically
the safest.

I must admit I was very nervous watching him on his 2nd or 3rd solo
though!
