Car insurance for 17yr old

[Bunny]

My brother is 17yrs old and is currently learning to drive. My granddad has offered him his x reg punto ELX 1.9jtd. The cost of insurance it is between £2700 to £4500.

Does anyone know any good Fiat diesels he could buy so he can start to collect his no claims bonus?
We thought about a 1.9JTD Bravo like mine but that cost even more (newer car i guess).

i found at 17 diesels do cost more to insure

 

[sammiboo]

to start off with he would be better off with a 1.1 punto. get him to do his pass plus too, that should ease some of the blow of insurance cost.

True. My dad after getting him a diesel through due to the miles he'll be doing. I'm just happy it's a Fiat he is after, mind you, all the cars in my family are Fiats

If it's cheaper in the first year for a petrol i'm sure he can survive

always best 2 get something small for your 1st car.

I've got a 1.9 JTD Doblo, i pay just under £2 grand on my own name with Liverpool & Victoria. They also gave me a years no claims bonus straight off (which is why it's under £2 grand) and that's fully comp with a fairly low excess. Try them if you go with them, do one online first, call them up and if you've already done one online they'll give you the same price over the phone too!

ask your brother to try this company insuresupermarket.com

and tell your brother to add your mum or dad as a named driver which evers got the most no claims bonus. doing this should lower his premium quite considerably.

worked for me wen i was young and still working now

and on the plus side it alows them to drive your car fully comp if they should ever need to

Some useful hints for getting cheaper insurance. It's never going to be that cheap for a 17 year old though.

my brother got a Panda 750, added me and my mum onto the policy and it worked out at about £650!!! think that was with Budget insurance, i dont think youl get cheaper than that at 17!!!

[tipoboy]

try premiumchoice insurance i found it in the back of max power magazine!!

i insured a 2ltr 16v tipo (group 15 insurance) for £1439 for my first car i'm now £700 with 1 yr no claims good company check them out

 

[beau]

mine is going to cost about £3000 on a punto HGT

i can correct now-

on confused.com the cheapest quote on punto gt turbo was about 3k

Well I found it cheaper to be added to my parents policy for first yr or 2. I think anything over 1000 is just rediculous. Im now 19 with Zero no claims and ive got a quote for 590quid fully comp on a Grande Punto Sporting (Group 6). Again that was with liverpool victoria. I think there cheap overall for Fiat's .
