  • On a family car, adding my gf who only has a provisional licence drops the price £50-100.On a more sporty car it usually adds about the same.
    I have never had a claim and a clean licence.

    Puzzled. If you have only just passed your test why does your job require a cars so urgently? What are you going to do with it?

    If your going to struggle with £1500 insurance how will you cope with £2000+ a year car finance?

    Most free insurance policies may require a large deposit and several years no claims bonus.

    You will also be limited on what car you can get. Possibly models that dont sell very well, Larger petrol engined models etc.

    Need it for work? So you need business mileage cover also?
