Young driver motor insurance

Mark_Hewitt

When I first qualified when I was 17 they were asking £800+. So much that I didn't buy a car at the time, as I didn't need it.

I left buying a car until I was 25, but even then they were still asking £600/year. Thankfully I got free insurance when I bought my car (it was new), so that saved me that £600 plus gave me a head start on my no-claims.

Sorry, E car quoted nearly £1700. Looks like it has to be Adrain Flux.

Is your son at university? Endsleigh insurance gave my son a favourable quote because he was (this was 5 years ago though)

Have you tried directline? I have been with them since i passed my test nearly 3 years ago and they have been cheapest every year when i go to renew. When i first passed my dad had car in his name but had me as main driver. he had protected no claims so although i did have an accident it didnt affect his no claims bonus

Had daughter on wifes insurance with Tesco from 17, when she got her own car they gave her 3 yrs bonus for herself so making a new Peugeot 107 £275.00 at 20 yrs old. Cheap car to run and insure.

Go with direct line, I got a quote from them yesterday for £282 on a vauxhall corsa 1.4 1996. I am 18 and have no claims bonus. (I was a named driver though or something)

You might want to check that in a little more detail. If you're down as a named additional driver, when in fact you are the primary driver of the car, that's basically insurance fraud and your insurance will be invalid.

as I've said before.. get something over 25 years old..... limit the mileage.... insurance plummets.... my son got a quote from one of the classic insurers for a 2.0 cortina estate, limitted to 6000 miles a year, just under 20 quid a year FC....

I would advise Swinton and Endsleigh as they specialise in younger drivers.
