Cheapest car to insure for a 17 year old learner driver?

janie63

My son is 17 on 2nd August and starts driving lessons that day! He wnats to buy a car as soon as possible to learn in-which car would be the cheapest for him to get for insurance purposes?

Obviously looking @ 1 litre small cars!

Hi ... you'll see a place on this site which allows you to check out car groups - use this as a good guide but not 100% definitive:

Having chosen likely cars - use the MSE "Cheap car Insurance" link
over here and down a bit >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hope this helps ...but be aware, cheap, insurance and 17 years old are ill-matched, lol, but we all have to start somewhere, so maybe get him to do the checking out on groups and cost comparisons, yes?

I would imagine a Toyota Aygo/Citroen C1/Peougeot 107 would be the cheapest, personally. £20 road tax from next year as well!

just got my son insured with aviva - 54 plate citroen c2 sx 1.1
tried loads of different companies online and by phone - spent hours
had a quote for £1689 with me as main driver (not fronting as I will be using car as well as my old car is dead) and my son as named driver
Gave them a ring and they got me a quote with him as main driver and me as named driver, fully comp, him on a provisional licence, with the likelihood of the premium staying the same when he passes his test (most insurers increase the premium on passing)
Wait for it £1226.80 - really pleased as you can imagine
All I can say is well done Aviva for being realistric and not ripping the normal person off - not like most
GOOD LUCK!

I cannot believe the insurance will not rise when he passes his test.
I fell into the Provisional Insurance trap with my daughter.
Got Provisional Insurance for her, £1280, then she passed her test and it went to over £2k

I cannot believe the insurance will not rise when he passes his test.

If it doesn;t then it must have been overpriced for the learning period when they would had far more supervision than once passed
