Best Insurance for new driver who's 39

Options
Hi,
My husband has just passed his test at the age of 39 on his first attempt. It only cost an extra £100 on my insurance as a named driver (I have full no claims, age 37)
Does anybody know the best insurance companies to get quotes from? Most of them are coming in about £700 full comp for an Audi a3 on an 04 plate.

    If he had full NCD like you, then his £700 premium would be around £245.

    So £700 sounds pretty good and in the ball park!

    With zero no claims £700 sounds like a bargain...

    Bite their hands off..

  • Make sure you are a named driver on the policy you get discounts if an experienced driver is named on a new drivers policy
    just because you are paranoid doesnt mean to say they are not out to get you

    Not always... Sometimes adding a named driver increases the price.

    Trial and error.

    Do you mean the £100 was the additional cost while he was a learner, or it is the additional cost now he has passed?

    Are you talking about a second car, insured in his name, or the same car shared by both of you?
