you've tried insurancesupermarket.com? (sic) Quinn-direct are supposed to be quite cheap for young drivers, and Admiral also advertised itself as cheap for young drivers.

Are you going to be accompanying them whilst learning (sitting in the passenger seat)? I'm not looking forward to it (in about ten years time) - it was bad enough when I was the accompanying driver in my 20s.

Any pictures?

Ah the old PCG ones are the best....

Was that for comp or tpft?

Comp I think.

Churchill are amongst the best for 17 year olds. They insured my daughter's BMW 325i for £1450 and she was 18 and had only just passed her test.

Feck... thanks for warning me what's coming up although I am managing the sprogs expectations of what to expect to be driving (in my day I had to save up & buy the car, insure it myself and do all the maintenance)

When I was in this situation with my new lambo I just bought insurer company.

Thanks, I have been doing that (as 3rd driver in fact) but the extra premium is about £500 or more per annum as a result. It wasn't anything like as bad when his sister started learning a couple of years ago.

Stick as many women on the policy as you can as named drivers.

A mate has 3 ex girl friends listed as named drivers on his car as it brings his premiums down by 500 a year.

There is no lawy saying that they have to drive the car or know they are insured on it.

they are able to discriminate

Isn't that a function of gender rather than calendar?

Threaded, how do I know that you mean the car and not the daughter?

[Spacecadet]

Tell her to be more grateful or take the bus FFS!

I don't want my wife driving round in a piece of sh*t car
Earning the money, might aswell use it

with them already and have been since i passed my test
and yeah we will have to go that route i think, still if i use her car more than my own then we save on petrol as well as insurance and direct line give NCB on named drivers as well. Only need to use my car then on days when she needs to drive somewhere.

Also though - direct line are quite strict about which cars they will insure new drivers on, she's very picky about what car she wants so we may have to fork out for a different insurance company

Not a great believer in advertising, but there's some tv ads at the moment about multicar policies... Direct Line?

Trying to get a quote for insurance of cheap / low group car to include a new driver aged 17 with a provisional licence, but all quotes are silly.

Any ideas?

The reason for the quote being higher than your car is because of the cost of damage they'll do to someone elses car.
