Student Car insurance

Chall

Hi, I'm a 19 year old student looking to insure a car, I've not yet passed my test but want to learn in a car of my own, I know this is going to make insurance expensive, but I hope to pass before September and participate in my pass plus at that point to bring down the cost of insurance. Does anyone know where I could get cheap car insurance for a driver without a license, of course I would put someone with a license as second driver since they will accompany me wherever I go.

Thanks in advance

p.s. please ignore the company car insurance thread since I originally asked that but a number of people chose to point out that this would be fraud as I would be the main driver not my father.

You dont need to add anyone else to the policy as only the driver must be insured not also the accompanying driver - that said and done it would potentially lower your premiums and secondly be a sensible option if you get yourself in a state/ problem and the other driver needs to take over.

Being a provisional licence holder generally is actually cheaper than a newly qualified driver.

If you're at university or college and have an NUS (National Union of Students) card, make sure to call/speak to Endsleigh Insurance. They are affiliated to NUS and offer a sizable discount (30% last I heard) for NUS members.

Having said that, make sure you shop around. One year, Tesco insurance trumped Endsleigh by about £20 because they had a special offer on.
