    Hi,

    I'll be getting my first car next month (yay!) but the cheapest insurance quote I've had works out to be £108.00 a month!! Does anyone know about any specialist young driver insurers or am I going to be stuck with this?

    Thanks.

    what kind of car is, i guess its a small 1.1

    Try ASDA as my 17 year old daughter has just insured her first car Citroen Saxo 1.4i as a provisional license holder for £774.53 comprehensive including both parents as named drivers and rac homestart plus legal cover including the interest as she is paying this monthly it worked out .:)

    Deposit £141.39 then 10 months at £63.30 and this was done over the phone,but if you go through Quidco she could of saved herself another £35.

    We tried comparison websites and although the annual premiums were competative if you switched the payments to monthly the likes of Admiral and Elephant would charge you another £350 plus for interest on top.(:
  • I know what you mean about Admiral etc. Will give ASDA a go as haven't tried them yet tbh. My car's a 1.1 Peugeot 106 so thought it wouldn't cost too much to insure, how wrong I was!

    Provisional insurance isn't bad, it when they pass it gets a lot more expensive.

    we got cheap insurance with CIS (co-op) when my kids started driving.... also have you thought about doing PassPlus which sometimes shaves a bit off the premium?
