18 year old daughter and her car insurance

asiot

i would reccomend moneysupermarket.com i always find they offer a cheaper quote than confused.com although i always search with both but deffenatly use a comparison site my last quote on a 1.6i clio 21 years old with only 1 years no claims and 1 years licence held was only 411 a year with 1st quote insurance

My DD who is 18 has her car insurance in her own name with Virgin. She pays £89.00 a month for a 6 year old ford fiesta. That was the cheapest quote we got and they don't charge any extra for paying monthly.

What is the car? Insurance can be greatly reduced with a change of car. www.ecarinsurance.co.uk is also worth a try as well as those mentioned above.

Thankyou to you all for such a large response, and I am definitely going to try the comparison companies and individual companies you have informed me about ... It seems likely that I will be able to get this quote a little cheaper than £1850.00.

I forgot to mention the car she has .. its a Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec Blue on a 57 plate, which I guess could hinder things .. Also I was informed by a friend today that with her holding her full licence for only 9 months could also push up the quote considerably.

Like all car insurance the cost will be higher the newer the car as well as her age and lack of driving experience.

Direct Line is coming out on top for my son at present.

Remember to ask about Pass Plus. If your daughter takes this, some insurance companies will reduce her premium.

I think it only applies to first two years, so if discount is about the same as cost of doing it it's worthwhile.

Try Endsleigh, my car insurance was around £750 on a 1.3 06 Yaris having held my licence for 1 year and pass plus. I was 19 at the time and I also have my father on the policy as a named driver. Prior to that I was with Churchill on my fathers policy and it cost over £1000 with the car being a 1.0 X-reg Micra.
However call them to get your quote, the quote they gave me online was double that but someone called later on to give me a reduced student quote. I tried several comparison sites and plenty of insurers websites, none of them came remotely close to the deal I got from Endsleigh, all were over £1000 with the cheapest being around £1200 and the most something like £3000.

I personally found the admiral group of companies very competitive when a new young driver. Elephant, bell direct and admiral themselves are all part of this group.

Elephant came up trumps (think there is a little pun there somewhere) at just under £1000.00 .... Well chuffed :j

Have to agree with 24ctu, Quin Direct defenently came up cheaper for my son. He paid £1090 for a 1996 Fiesta which reduced by almost half the second year. It also made it cheaper adding myself and my husband to the policy.
