Hi just need some advise past my driving test last week an looking at buying a car any advise on what car and insurance company ?? I know its going to cost me a fortune looked at a corsa breeze 1.0 1998 cheapest quote iv had is 1500 thats only third party fire an theft.
Be greatful for any advise.

Yes it will cost a fortune I passed in may and finally tonight just completed the pass plus scheme all though I'm already paying over £2,500 for my insurance which will now be getting changed if that does not reduce for me so id say you have a good price there I used a company but they are crap as to get in touch with a human on the phone is 0906 number at £1.50 per min :-(

Another way to lower insurance prices is to increase you excesses (if you can afford to ). My daughter managed to knock a couple of hundred off hers by doing this.

Insurance prices are disgusting these days. The govermeny bang on about lowering our carbon foot print and saving the environment and yet they let insurance companies price new drivers out of buying newer environmentally friendly cars by charging extortionate prices and taking all peoples money.

Cheapest i found was the Co-op via price comparison sites on the net,Its for my second eldest who was under 25, licence held for less than 12 months Astra sxi £2200

Which as steep as it was, i suppose was quite reasonable considering some wanted double that figure

Be sure to shop around

Hi, im with ingene insurance. they fitted a black box into the car which measures how hard i use the accelerator, wheel and how often i use indicators and use excessive speed. if you drive at a good standard your monthly premium comes down etc. well worth a look

I got sick of the fortunes insurance companies demand, so I bought a 21 year old car and have classic insurance £200 a year, car was £500. Not sure if this would apply to younger drivers, or if you want to drive an older car, Its cheap though!

Thanks for the advise am going to have to do a lot of shopping around not sure if am classed as a young driver as am 30 this month.

Classic car insurance is for over 25's

Age of driver or age of car?

that is right but also check out fully comp its not always like it used to be third party is considered to be a higher risk by many companies now !
