    Have you also stuck an older female named driver on the policy?

    I found that helped with my insurance, I put my sister down on the policy and it went down quite a lot.

    Also watch out for the pre test pass price and the post test price

    i.e. its lower pre pass since not on the road much - is it worth having the car pre pass - since they would only be driving accompanied, presumably when you were avaiable to sit with them - so the cost / hour for insurance at the time is pretty high
    Maybe only get car & insurance post test pass ?
    Depends how quickly they pass I suppose ?

    Edit: in your case 2 weeks hopefully - so less relavent to OP

    Also remember you are supposed to inform insurer after pass so they can charge you the increased rate to take account of increased driving

    On 1st sons cars, I really wasn't aware of that last part so had'nt notified them, so for 6 months or so after test he was in fact probably driving uninsured !!!

    Its nothing to do with increased driving, it costs more because he will be unsupervised so classed as more of a risk.
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.

    Get a black box fitted? ..
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    My 17 year old son got his insurance through insure the box, it was about £1800 then went up to £2400 after he passed his test, so your quotes seem about right.
