Young drivers

I am just wondering if anyone has any car insurance recommendations for young drivers. I want to insure my daughter. I realised it would be expensive, but was shocked when I started getting quotes.

Do a search for 'young driver' on this forum, the question crops up regularly, so there are loads of tips already.

Quinn Direct!

I'm insured with them (TPFT), Provisional license £900 for a rover 200 1.4 '97

My first car, no claims bonus, and 17 male - say no more

Once i have passed it will not increase.

***If i had done a quote with a full UK License they quoted me £1600 TPFT***
but as i am only provisional its much cheaper, so my advise is insure it asap (before test):beer:

Its very much a suck it and see option. A few hours spent going thru the insurance comparison sites is well worth it. Also try Tesco and Direct Line who aren't on these sites.Try upping the excess, adding yourself as a named driver (sometimes lowers the premium, sometime raises it). Really comes down to personal details. Swift seems to be the flavour of the month but nothing is certain.

Why is it cheaper if your on a provisional than a full license,

Just a guess but I would say it is because it is guaranteed you will always have some 'responsible' in the car with you, and so less of a liability for them. With a full license you're on your own and more of a risk as a new driver.

Another vote for Quinn Direct - My 17 yr old son has his insurance with them. He takes his test on aug 31st, and has had a little corsa with Quinn for 5 months. They were by far the cheapest and believe me - we did a heck of a lot of searching!!
