Car insurance for young drivers

[fireblake]

When my son was approaching 17 he spent a few hours with eBay, auto trader and go-compare. Having got details of ALL possible cars he could afford to buy he got insurance quotes. The cheapest to insure for him was a 1.6 Focus or a 1.25 Fiesta. This is because most chavs want clio and corsa so push the rates for these up. also, people assume small engines are cheaper but the 1.4 Focus cost more as did the 1.00 and 1.3 Fiesta.


Shop around and and do the homework BEFORE getting the car.

Thats a good point. My lad found Fords unaffordable and went for the Pug. Sometimes waiting a month can make a difference too.
