Car insurance

I will be 17 next year and so need to know what the average car insurance would cost. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Depends on what type of car you will be thinking of...

My friend's son is 17. She was happy last night because she'd got his insurance quote on his �1300 banger car down to �1500. You'd better start saving now, sweetheart!

Hi, my daughter picked her car knowing it would be a lower insurance group (Ford Ka). When it came to getting quotes it was from �2500 to �880. She is fully covered with Egg Insurance, It needs a lot of searching about. Then your next problem was that you can not pay monthly until you are 18 as it is classed as credit, they wouldn't even let it be paid through my bank account for her. So when we tried to pay online we couldn't either because she was also to young for her own credit card, but with a call direct to them we could pay them on mine the full payment. So you not only do you need enough to by your car but also the insurance money up front to.

I'm afraid your insurance bill is going to be ing very high. One way of bringing it down is to take extra lessons, once you've passed your test ... I believe it covers motoray driving etc. Maybe like a mini-advanced driving course. Another thing is to restrict when you'll use the car eg not at night. Good luck with passing your test.

my car is a vauxhall corsa 1.0i and the cheapest i could get with 0 years no claims, at age 19 was 1500.
try Virgin Car insurance, they dont charge extra for paying monthly.
when u get quotes on the internet, that seem really good and then they give u a number to ring and buy it, it usually goes up because they just assume things that aren't true (dont know why). also expect to pay a big deposit.

also if you take your pass plus after your test, i can take your premium down a little. for my first year, it was equivilent to 1 years ncb. good luck!

Try your local insurance broker.

If your female you should get a far better quote than if you are a male! my daughter trawled all the companies and ended up using Elephant.com it was around �1000 cheaper than the most expensive but still cost her around �800 for a Ka! Stick to a bike..its much cheaper!

Forgot to say, if you put your parents on as named drivers it also reduces the cost..dont know why but it does so try it!

Thanks for all who gave advice and I am male by the way and I did suspect that would make my quote go up in price. Oh well. Thank you and I am taking all of your comments into consideration.
