    He only needs business use if he uses his own car for business.
    I think he would be by traveling to collect customers cars in works time in his own car?

    Sounds like good deal for a Polo. Good advice on possibility of waiting til a bot older to insure. I assume that extra years NCD will only be applicable if he renews with Directline?

    But I wouldn't recommend a Polo to the OP as he wants the cheapest and its certainly not cheap to buy, maintain or insure.
    yea your probably right about it only being valid with direct line.
    but the way I see it is 2 yrs ncd is worth about 20% plus a 20% multicar discount next year should bring his insurance down quite a bit? fingers crossed

    When my son passed his test we found the cheapest insurance was on larger cars, we ended up buying him a volvo estate the car was about £800 then his insurance was well under £2000, this was three years ago.

    It does reduce the price if you add on older drivers. We insured a KA for all our sons and it wasn't too bad....

    Try Endersleigh they are good for younger drivers and then up the excess.
