Folks..

My 17 yo son has just passed his driving test and looking for Insurance to share a Mini One 2004 with his mother - about 10000 mile PA

Apart from the usual internet comparison sites - moneysupermarket / martin lewis finance / go compare / Tesco - any other Insurance companies specialize in youngsters ?

Presently with E-Sure who will not quote ...

Regards
Dram..

Thanks all..

Eventually via Moneysupermarket best price was £750 with a £750 excess for the 17yo with Diamond Insurance - seems reasonable ..??

Tried Quin Direct nearly £2k !!

Enquired about a Mini Cooper - some did not quote - others quoted up to £6400 !!!!

We deal with a local mechanic whose wife has a Mini One and I'm convinced its tuned / mapped - although he wont admit it !!!!! I shall make some discreet enquiries and offer a bottle of the finest single malt whisky !!!!!

All the family love the Mini and I'm sure we'lll be looking for a decent Cooper(S) in a couple of years ..
