car insurance for 17year old soldier

Another tactic of Quinn is, when you pass your test and ring up to tell them, saying 'Congrats, that'll be an extra £950 please.' Someone on this forum said that actually. Although its irrelevant to the OP .
I'm 17 (male) and recently got a VERY competitive quote of £1100 (considering I've passed my test about 3 months now and done pass plus) for my mum's 1.0 corsa which I drive, and is about the same value as the OPs, from a company called iKube. I say its my mum's car, but I was telling them it was mine to get an idea whether I could afford my own car if you see what I mean, anyway.
As I said it was £1100 fully comp (unfortunately forgot to ask what the excess was), but they install a GPS unit in your car, and automatically charge you £45 if you drive between 11PM and 5AM. As I never do I thought this was pretty good. You can't get a quote online, need to call them,

I'm with Zurich atm, and it's £700 in total as a named driver on my mum's policy. She genuinely is the main driver so its all fine before anyone starts on that one!

Friend of mine is with NFU and pays...wait for it...£300!!! and he is less than a year older than me and passed his test a month later. That was for an old clio. Having said that he comes from a farming family so they have allsorts of other things with NFU which made his quote especially favourable, but I understand they still can be pretty good for everyone else.
