Youngsters car insurance

[sutty234]

the cheapest i can get insurance for the 17 year old lad for his clio 1.4 is £1600. Is this about the going rate or does anyone know of any tips or companies to get the price down. i`ve added me and the wife as names drivers and thats took it down £400. tried confused,go-compare,direct line and coop. cheers.

I think thats about it! Direct line used to do a 20% after sucessfully completing 'pass plus' which is the kind of incentive that young drivers need (should be extended to encourage more training for all drivers/riders). There is also a 'black box' scheme offered by some companies which monitors all aspects of the driving and premium is based on certain criteria. The 'good old days' are long gone!!!! Cheers, Andy.

£2300 for my lads 1.1 Peugot 206 with a black box that will bring it own 10% if he continues to drive well
So I would say you have got a good price

fiat Cinqecento is group 1 (inbetweeners) plus you can fit a gps box that stops them speeding and going out at night in it !!!!! May as well walk .

Cost me £4k for my lads corsa so £1600 sounds cheap or is that with a box fitted?

When my eldest girl got her provisional last year it cost her - or should I say me £2200 for a 106 but then N.I. is expensive. There were some companies who were only looking about £1200 but they were going to put it up to over 3 grand once she past her test. Anyway this year it's £900 with Admiral and that's with me as a named driver.

All the best, Neil.
