Insurance

Whos the best/cheapest insurance company to go for? I will be a 17 year old new driver when I choose.

I have been in your situation (I am 19 now), and I shopped around for a while because I had no money! I found that no-one could even come close to CIS insurance, which is the Co-op insurance company. They let you pay monthly as well. I hope this helps.

Two that I've found to be cheap over the years are Tesco and Budget.  You could also try confused.com

Ive just been in that situation and churchill were by far the best.  The others were all similar, and I rang alot.  I also found that getting a quote online is no cheaper than ringing around, even though they say you get a 10%discount etc!  In fact mine was cheaper than the online quote.

Your never going to get "cheap" insurance at 17 no matter what your driving. I always found elephant good though and HIC were helpfull as well. Just be prepared to take it in the pocket!

Sorry to copy everyone but I went through Tesco for my first year's insurance and they were by far the cheapest. Try Direct Line - they're about the same price for me.

Yet again, Tesco. Though this year - mines due on the 31st - I found Churchills, who are normally expensive, cheaper. Tesco have only reduced my premium by �25 this year even though I've got 65% no claims! Look at www.screentrader.co.uk

I got cheap insurance from C.I.S. also. then I had a bump(not my fault). They were terrible to deal with! Ask around for people who've had a claim settled satisfactorily!
