Just been looking at quotes on Confused com on a Ford Ka, for my 21year old nephew, for when he passes his test (hopefully) in a few weeks and the best I can get is Ã,£968 TPFF and Ã,£1200 full comp this is on a group 2 car, valued at 3k :shock:

Does this sound about right to you guys? if not could you recommend anybody thats good for young drivers?

Cheers!  

My sister... 20yr old driving a Ford Ka.

Ã,£1800ish Full Comp with Kwikfit, they were the best deal we could find on confused.com and elephant.co.uk at the time, and their policy covered a lot that other companies didnt.

try adrian flux.

yeah that sounds about right

she would be much better off if her car was in her parents name and she was on as a second driver

Quote from: knightyyeah that sounds about right

alas this makes next to no differance these days they just rack the cost right up

Wow.

Im totally stunned. I never knew this was how much insurance cost for young drivers.

Better legislate to get em off the road then!

My brother got Ã,£400 Without any NCB from Tescos and then crashed his car. Hes over 50 BTW Insuring his new one cost him twice that amount  

Older drivers tend to be safer bets but dont count on it  

I got insurance under my parents, Its a rip off insurance. I know I wont have any no claims but for an Astra mk2 1.4L Ã,£250 Fully comp and Brake Down cover its good.

Insurance is a rip-off due to chav idiots, tbvfh...

^^^

more all the BS incurance claims i think

That cant be right.

Im 21 with no NCB and my premium is circa 700 notes on a 94 1.2 Clio fully comprehensive. Im pretty sure thats at least group 3. What excess is that with?


Alan, the two go hand in hand I fear...

I think a 1st driver shouldnt have a car worth more than Ã,£500 tbh.

It teaches them how to drive if they have some pile of crap that can be scrapped after a year.

Driving is a life long task for most, and learning how to drive as early as possible and I think they can do that better in a cheap car.

If the car costs Ã,£2000 or above, then they are inclind to take care of it, which I think is a good car, but a car that costs not a lot can teach people about mechanicals and if somthing goes wrong, which mostlikly will, how to fix it at the road side.

My insurance is Ã,£950. 23 No NCB and 1.5 years held license. on a group 10 1.3L hot hatch.

my first car cost Ã,£75 to buy and Ã,£700+ to insure, that was 2 years ago

It pains me to say it, but try Tesco insurance.

For me, this year Vauxhalls own insurance company was the cheapest.

The short list for me was:

Virgin
Direct line
Vauxhall

And Vauxhall were the cheapest by about Ã,£80


I also think that Mr_Roll has lost the plot.  It matters not what car a 1st timer should have.   My 1st car was a Ka, and I never so much as clipped a kerb.
Some people are naturally bad drivers.  If I drove a sub Ã,£500 car, I wouldnt care less about it.

lol@ 1.3 "hot hatch" comment though.  Isnt it more tepid?
