quote for his mum as main driver and him as named driver 1100
i know he wont earn any ncb but saving 1500 quid  ayear till hes older

[Vamps]

I know it is bad but that seems really bad, how can we expect kids to pay such premiums.
Anyone out there with a 17 year old to compare, i am just at the sorting out a 16 year old scooter in a few weeks, but next year!!!!!!!

 He should try "Direct Line" they give named drivers NCB's as well as the main Driver, Top notch  8-)

I suppose I was lucky really because I bought my fist car (a rusty Metro) and insured it myself from the start!!

But I don't think I could do it now days!  :-? :-?

[Martin_1962]

No wonder so many have no insurance

[Jay w]

'96 renault clit stepson is 18 on a provisional licence, he is a named driver and can earn NCB once he passes his test

TPFT = £385

[Danny]

£3600 he's being robbed, my mate's paying less than £2000 fully comp on his 1.1 saxo

[Andy B]

My lad (he's 20 tomorrow) paid about £1700 fully comp (there was next to no dfference in price from the TPF&T quote) on a £500 M reg 1.4 Astra F.

Why don't young drivers get something totally uncool and worthless as a first car for a couple of years before getting something that will be loaded insurance-wise by its' popularity?

Surely an old heap would not cost that much to insure, and comes with the added opportunity to learn about car maintenance ifwhen it breaks down.

My 1.7 Morris Ital only cost me 300 quid to insure TPFT when I was 20 (granted insurance has gone up a bit since then), and, despite being a highly effective contraceptive when it came to picking up members of the opposite sex, it would see off any of my mates' 1.1 / 1.3 Fiestas, Escrots, etc. 8-)

How uncool is an Astra F 1.4?
A mate is selling an R reg 1.0 Cinqucento for £250, so my daughter got a rough quote via Confused. Granted she only passed her test a month or 2 back but the best quote was a grand!
Although we old barstewards might have thought our insurance was steep at the time, I think the youngsters of today are getting a very rough ride. Must be this litigious world we live in these days, either thator the insurance companies are taking us ALL for a ride!
