nikki-red Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My friends just gone through the same with her 18 year old son. The cheapest quote they got was with a policy that had a curfew. I think he wouldnt have been allowed to be out in the car between midnight and 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrannyGranny Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Corsa 1.0 must be one of the cheapest cars to insure surely but £4500! My cousins youngest was paying £1800 2 years ago for a 1.2 Corsa. He was 18 at the time. Sorry don't know who with. Have you been tryin just comparison sites? Mayve cheaper deals are there if you go direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convert Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 look at an old classic type car with limited milleage insurance and try adrian flux insurers Adrian Flux are great fro young drivers. As said try an old Mini (850cc) or a 1200cc classic Beetle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Sampson Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 You'd be best using some of the comparison sites to get some quotes. It will be hellishly expensive. You might get the premium down a bit if you add yourself to the policy as a named driver (I mean take out the policy in his name - don't take it out in your name and add him as named driver as this could be considered fraud!). I'm not young but when I added my mum as a named driver the premium reduced by £100. Odd. The reason why it went down is because if someone else who is low risk is driving the car, the most risky driver isn't driving it! The more safe drivers you can add the better. You are right to mention not taking the policy out in the parents name... Insurance companies are wise to this, it is called fronting and the policy will be voided, you could get IN10'd by the police, liable for any damage in case of an accident and will find it nigh on impossible to get insurance ever again.
