Sorry op, but expensive insurance is a fact of life for young males... all us blokes have been there...

Just shop around for the best deal and use Quidco, but expect to pay a fair whack!

Somone told me recently that some insurers offer policies for young drivers which restrict driving to certain times of the day (i.e. no driving after 10pm) as a way of reducing policy premiums. Does anyone know which insurers offer these policies?

P.S. Quinn Direct also came out cheapest for me on confused.com.

Tried tesco on the net to go on my dads but still came up with a crazy quote.

Would it be cheaper to ring them?

Presumably you've tried the comparison sites - see Martin's article.

My two sons both got insurance at 17 - one with Direct Line and the other with Churchill. Their circumstances were exactly the same (students, living at home etc) and they even had similar cars - Metro - one was an N reg and one a P reg but for some reason Direct Line was cheaper for Son#1 in 2001 and then Churchill was cheaper for Son#2 four years later. They both found something around the £1000 level from memory.

So take the time to shop around - it will pay off.

Around the £1000 mark seems about average for 17/18 year olds car insurance on a group 1 car.

My son and his step-sister both have same year ford fiesta.
His is a 1.1 and hers is a 1.3 their insurance costs are identical. He would have to pay £300 more to insure the 1.3 fiesta.

I'm in the same boat with my 17 yrs old son. If we insure his car in our name with him as named driver its £2500:eek: :eek:
If we insure in his name its £1200:eek: with Quinns. It's a P reg Fiesta 1.3. Tried all the ones above and they all came up with £2500 in his name. Alot of companies wont even touch him...
He has had a licence for nearly a year and a moped but they won't even take that into account.:mad: He only paid £200 for the car!!!!!
