Cars with Low Insurance Group

niceday999

son just about to apply for a provisional licence. i will need to change my car as its group 10.....i remeber reading on here a post about the different groups ( low) of different cars. I have been told thats it much more expensive for boys of 17 than girls so need to keep the group down as low as i can....But i also have to drive the car being an old mum of 40 odds.....Is there such a car , that will keep us both happy and cost the earth to insure and run ?????? lol
Thanks

This should help, you can search for a cars group or look at the groups to see what cars are there.
It is only a guide though so I would get a firm quote from your insurance people before buying.

Avoid Quinn if you have a provisional licence

I will be the main driver and my son (17) will be a named driver. My husband is usually also on my policy. Any ideas who i should get to quote me..........i have heard the prices for 17 year old males is soooooo scary

I have heard that Hughes Insurance are very competitive but have a few quotes ready before you do one online with them. They will ring you and haggle. I got a great quote from them this year.

theres a thread on the Norn Iron board already about Car Insurance, I would try Endsleigh and Surequote and see if your current insurer will match or beat both those

I've just renewed my insurance with my 17 year old son on the policy. I'm driving a Peugeot 206 deisel. The road tax is £35 per year and the cheapest insurance I could get was with the Post Office £788. It was cheaper to use the price comparison site as going directly through the Post Office would have cost £850.

May be worth checking out Direct Line Insurance, all named drivers qualify for no claims bonus on the policy;) may be of some help to your son if and when he buys his own car to have had a few years NCB of his own.

They are extremely competitive on price too:T

I started a thread on low fuel consumption vehicles (which are generally low in insurance). Quite a lot of information came from the thread, including depreciation value, etc. Usually you can avoid that headache by buying second hand cars.

good luck!
