Young marmalade

Hi everyone,
I'm going to take driving lessons starting next month. Considering I would have a option to travel in car instead of taking the tube and train, I've looking around for car insurance. Couldn't believe an £695 nissan micra auto's insurance gonna cost me £2300 a year.

I'm working full time and will study part time soon. Therefore a car would certainly be more convenient than taking public transport. Came across young marmalade in martin's advice page on car insurance. I just like to see if anyone have used them and what do you think of the company itself?

Thanks,
JC

    I know someone that bought a car through Young Marmalade and they said they have been great. If you can't afford a new car then they also offer monthly cover via provisionalmarmalade.co.uk tagged on to your parents car with no risk to their no claims bonus. Less than £100 for a month!!!
