Got a mate who's looking to buy a Mini cooper but he's being quoted about £3k!! Anyone got any top tips on heap places to get insurance for 17 year olds.....Oli.
tell him to get a quote from norwich union if he does pass plus, it was worth it for me
reduced my insurance by over 40%
one thing to note though its only valid for a year after completing it so the when renewal day comes around he could find it little expensive!
has he considered the possibility of different car that has less of a boy racer image
Which mini is it? If its the old maybe a classic car policy, if its the BMW one its going to be expensive as they are BMW's and are expensive to repair making a big wedge of you premium. Try elephant though done me good on my GTI past 2 years and stick an adult on with no past accidents or points reduced mine by £300 about 30%!
Hey Oli long time no see hows it going??
Best of luck to your mate cause we've been hunting for Douglas as well and the cheepest for a 1.1 or1.2 motor is aroun £1.5K
Mega pees you off cause girls are cheaper. I reckon a sex change plus insurance for a girl would be cheaper in the long run
^^^Cunning plan! I wonder if somone has attempted to pull that one off for real?
my lad just 17 on a provisional got ttft on a 1.25 Fiesta for just over £900 with Quinn direct. my older lad aslo got a good price from them.

elephant were best for me. half the price of the quote from norwich union on my BMW
Tell him to put one of his parents on as a named driver. I still do this and keeps my insurance pretty cheap. Also i always found RAC good for me
