curlyjo_2

Hi my son wants to buy his first car hes just passed his test and is going to do Pass Plus. The best quote i have ad for a group 3 car is £2674, and thats with the PP and a tracker, so that he cant drive the car between 11 at night and 5 morning! Any advice is welcome.

Have a search through previous threads, there's loads on this topic. However a trick I have just discovered (like, yesterday; I was bored and vaguely considering working as a takeaway delivery boy) and haven't mentioned yet is that it may be cheaper to get a quote with 1000 business miles, even if you don't actually use/need them.

An older and wiser named driver can also make a huge difference.

Depends on the type of car obviously and i would say stay away from companies that advertise insurance for young people as they tend to be very expensive but give you a few stupid perks, take an hour of your time and run quotes on as many broker sites as you can find ,you will find a cheap deal at some point ,try Novitas insurance ,Cheers.

try an insurance broker as well, they have access to policies you don't, I always use a few local to me to see if they can better what I find, they almost always do by the way

The cheapest insurance I got when I was 17 was actually through a classic car insurer (even though my car was in no way a classic!).

Classic Line insured me, they were cheaper than all the big companies. I think I was limited to 5000 miles though.
