O/T Car Insurance : Wed Feb 25, 2009 9:26 pm  

Has anyone had any experience in trying to insure their young son / daughter who has just passed their test ? the quotes i am getting are unbelievable . Also does any one know if i could be a registered keeper of 2 cars . Any advice would be really appreciated .

Get them to do Pass plus it usually cuts another 25% off.Now if you need a very good Driving Instructor just PM me.

Andrew was an 'early' driver and we had his car in the wifes name until she wanted one/we could afford one then he went on his own but he would have been about 20, his Rover 75 costs him a small fortune to insure.
Our Dave was on his own insurance and car even before he passed but he was a more 'older' driver.
You can register as many cars as you like but the insurance companies have cottoned onto it big time, Pass plus can save you like has been said.

also a lot of insurance places will lower the cost if your son puts a named driver on the policy who has a few year no claims. they deem it to be safer as a novice driver wont always be behind the wheel.

Be prepared to take the hit on the first year but should drop quite substantially thereafter.

I had my own policy straight away with Quinn Insurance and it was a bit pricey to begin with but dropped hugely thereafter and were excellent to deal with when I had a 'bump' a couple of years ago.
