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.

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.

You might want to give this a try. 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.

I insured my learner girlfriend on my 1.2 clio at the time, about 2 years ago, and my quote didn't change at all, only the excess for her was £400 as opposed to my £100.  It went up slightly when she passed as I thought most companies class learners as 'safer' than newly passed drivers?  Could be worng tho.

I`ll be putting the daughter on mine soon, is there much difference in price for any driver or named driver ? Would age stipulations come in to the any driver part ?
