Insurance for Learner Driver

nelliebag

My son just turned 17 today and is keen to start learning to drive. I have just been quoted £3200 to add him to my policy with Endsleigh. Can anyone recommend another insurer who will add a learner for a reasonable fee?
Thanks

A 17 year old learner driver is not going to cheap to insure- what do you consider to be a 'reasonable fee' ?

I have just been quoted £3200

That is ridiculous ,
I only have girls , much cheaper. For £3000 , they could have their own insurance AND a car!

Go to the comparison web sites and use them .
My daughter , Fiesta, just under a thousand with direct line, would expect a boy to be about £1500

I paid about £1500 for my daughter a couple of years ago and thought it would be roughly the same for my son. My car is an A class merc 1.6 and not worth that much because it is 8 yrs old.

there are companies who will insure learner drivers whilst they learn for a fixed sum - £300'ish I think - for 6 months on a car not owned by them and only driven with qualified driver. the insurance only lasts while the learner is learning, but it does mean you don't have to adjust your own policy to include the learner until they have passed, if you see what i mean. I can't remember how I came across this but I think it was on moneysupermarket - it might be worth looking?

try provisional marmalade - sorry don't have web address, wrote note on post-it instead when I came across it in the course of looking for other insurance!!

hope this helps

This comes up several times a day on the insurance forum. A simple search would save people the bother of replying to questions that are asked several times a day.

I have just been on the marmalade site and got 3 mths for £271.50 which is great. Thanks for the suggestions.
