Car Insurance for twin sons ! !

I just do not know where to look or what to do:eek:
My boys are not 17 till July and I was wondering has anybody else had to insure two kids at the same time on a new policy?
buying the car is the easy bit, insurance is the problem here
Any help or advice greatfully received :A

    Best advice I have is that if you (or they) haven't been saving up to now, better get on and do it now!
    (or don't buy them a car and insure them on yours at least until they pass their tests)

    Get a few quotes now for various cars, but be sat down when you do.

    Maybe only one should bother taking their test as well, eh? The other should just try to get away with driving on their provisional licence as well. :wall:
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Surely you are not advising that the OP insures them on her policy to drive their car?

    Bus pass! I just wouldn't go there. The costs will be astronomical for a few years yet.

    From now on, when I'm making a light-hearted quip, I'll be sure to mark it 'LIGHT-HEARTED QUIP' at the bottom......just to save your blood pressure. ;)

    My advice - tell them to get saving! Driving is a responsibilty, and so is paying for the expense!
