Car Insurance options for young Triplets

My Triplet daughters are about to turn 17 and are driving me mad as they are so keen to drive as soon as possible. I have read the young drivers guide but does anybody have any advice on the best approach for trying to insure 3 at once? Are there any recommended brokers that specialise in young drivers and multiple births ? it would be much easy to discuss with a broker rather than trying to fill in lots of online quotes. Don't think this one is going to be easy and very expensive! Any tips much appreciated

    TAMBA? Unless their idea of 'older' is at school still... However there must be *some folk there who've half a clue.

    A really good broker, or a loving flat refusal. A pal with three teens paid "taxi allowance" as it cost less than trying to insure them. By all means get them through the exams & taught & even through their tests if affordable, but just do not add them to your insurance.

    Hoping someone with better knowledge than I comes along shortly!

    I don't see why its difficult. Just put the details into a comparison site.

    One car - you need to decide who will be the owner, registered keeper and main driver.

    Three cars - do one quote for one of them. Its likely the same insurer will be best for all three.

    Haven't used it myself. Cover stops when test is passed, according to FAQ so get someone to drive them home.

    I can't see why it would be any more difficult than insuring a single child, if you are insuring them as individuals then I don't think there would even be any need for the existence of siblings to be revealed. The cost, of course, is pretty much guaranteed to be huge, so if the difficulty is in affording it then you may be stumped.

    When for young drivers, £1000 is cheap (for one person), paying for a shared taxi, should be much cheaper than insuring three individuals.
  • If they are identical just insure one of them.
    If an incident just make sure the insured name is given



    Only joking mind.
