Have you tried some quotes using Confused.com or through the AA team? Being 17 myself I found both of the above to bring up half-decent quotes but don't expect anything under £2k.

17 yr old, male, no pass plus, high risk area, punto sporting 16v, adrian flux- £1700.

pass plus cost me £150 to do, saved me just shy of £500

pass plus cost me £150 to do

Cost me £75. An incentive Suffolk county councle were doing. They paid half, although I was going to do it, even if they didn't.

quinn direct hmmm yes

Got my pass plus free (Dad fixed driving instructors boiler in about 10mins ) I reckon it saved me about 40% like. Who ever told you pass plus doesn't save you money needs a slap

quinn direct hmmm yes

DONT bother with them... I had a accident 2 months in the policy... they then cancelled my policy without giving a reason and did not give me a penny of my £1600 back!
Nice:bang:

always a good idea to add your mum and dad on to your policy (you as the main driver) i found it took about 40 quid off mine having my mum on, its legal and its an extra 40 quid for you to spend on other aspects of the car!!


just a hint

 

[dave]

and your mum an dad can then drive your car fully covered if their car is off the road

 

[drunfola]

and your mum an dad can then drive your car fully covered if their car is off the road

yeah, altho i wouldnt let them

 

[fenton_jd]

Adding my mum to my policy actually bumped it up? Thats pretty much everywhere I go.

Fully Comp policy on my own GP is £1.7k, at 18 years old, no noclaims, license held for 6 months with no accidents etc

wouldnt let them anywhere near mine, my mum kerbed one of my alloys on my old car, and my dad thrashes thngs to within an inch of there life

i use there cars though

 

[loudpunto]

last year i paid £800 18yr old no no claims licence for 1 year alloys and exhaust declared on a GP 1.2 Active. only problem was i couldnt take my car out after 11pm or before 6am. saved me £1400! thats morethan drivetime

Endsleigh worked out cheapest for me, they have a site for drivers aged between 17-40, try them
www.17to40.com

still expensive though :S

pffft, thats nice price for my age but i work till 2am some days so makes it pointless for me havin a car :s

im also 17 just passed my test insureance was £2k for a 1.2 8v 54 plate mk3 punto with mum n dad named drivers on my policy, its with zurich i think and i didnt do pass plus coz they said it wouldnt effect it so before yo udo it check with who ever your going to be insured with that it will affect the price
