My daughter is just starting her lessons and we're looking for a car. Currently getting quotes for a 1.0 VW Up at £2500 which seems a tad steep.....

Any suggestions for a good insurance company? (already tried the top google results). Don't mind a black box policy.

TIA smile

...I would guess that circa £1,000 is a more realistic price given she cannot go out on her own.
Yup - £453 is the cheapest while she's on a provisional but that jump's to £2500 once she's passed.

No, we're not in London - thankfully!

After much work on the keyboard I've got Direct Line at £806, so that's improving. I just need to check that's for both before and after her test.

Daughter is with Admiral on her 04 KA, it is black box policy, no curfew 6k pa, she is 18 and passed 2 weeks ago, she pays £900 pa.

We are Surrey, if that helps.
Thanks - we're not far away and I think the key barrier at this stage is that when I try to get a quote with a full licence her 17th was actually last Monday.....
