Title: More car help Post by: Tractor on March 07, 2011, 04:27:07 PM Just rang up to insure my daughter on my wifes Corsa and they want £1600 to insure her as a learner, we were planning on letting her have the car when she passes her test but the insurers said it would then be £3000 to insure her at that point....<sigh>
They said we are better of buying a 1litre car for her to start with, any suggestions? Or better ideas.? I have not rang around to other insurance companies but may give that a go just to see. Cheers Title: Re: More car help Post by: kinboshi on March 07, 2011, 04:28:36 PM If your wife keeps the Corsa and your daughter is put on as a named-driver (once she passes her test), wouldn't that be far cheaper?

Very much this. even getting your daughter insurance with your wife on it as a named driver would be cheaper than just insuring your daughter for the car. BTW, 3K? Tell them to GTF.

There's loads of them all specialising in different things. £1600 to insure as a supervised learner seems insane and I'm sure you'll get much better than that.

It went up slightly when she passed as I thought most companies class learners as 'safer' than newly passed drivers? Could be worng tho.
