Tin top Insurance new driver
No2 son has just passed his test at 25 (don't ask!). He's bought a 1.2 S reg Fiesta and is looking for insurance. So far the best
he's come up with is £700 for TPF&T with a £100 excess.
Anyone know a company who might offer a better rate?
Cheers, Pewe

Have you tried Privilege? A bit of an unusual risk and they tend to be good with that kind of thing?
I'm guessing that as he's gone for TPF&T he's probably not too bothered about claiming. How about upping the excess to say
£500. May help out a bit.

Add an older / female driver to the policy as a 2nd driver. Usually worth 10 - 15% off the premium (even for me at 36 now)!! I always add my father
for the discount myself.
Try Moneysupermarket.com if you havent already. Also try Fully Comp insurance as many companies dont offer TPF&T any more and it might even be
cheaper!!

If he goes for an accelerated NCD deal just make sure that other insurers will accept it so that he doesn't get stuck with the same one. Some
insurers don't like to accept other company NCD's especially if they are not "full" or "true" years.

Another vote for elephant from me, am using them at the moment, 20, £800 or so, but the cheapest quote I got by miles!

get onto one of the compare websites and just swap wee stupid bits about adding and removing things like cars in household and number of cars
available even job descripition changed it and lets face it 2 or 3 options might describe your job.
I been been doing mine and got it to drop by £60 from my broker and over £100 from my renewal price from same insurance company..
Directline been cheapest so far. I'm moving into OH's house soon and going from locked garage to driveway at hers dropped it the biggest I
would have thought the oppisite would happen.
