That's gonna take a while for her to save for :eek:
Directline were pretty good for my ex when she passed at 17 think she paid £900 fully comp on a 2000ish corsa.
Just get ringing, tis the only way to know you've got the best price.
Congrats though.=D>
Shelly no they frickin don't my first year of business insurance on mine was over double that, infuriating.
That's good news :-)

congratulations!! :smt038
1100? is that for the micra?
Try out H&R Insurance, they are a broker firm. They have just started car insurance. My bike insurance came up as the cheapest I could find. Hopefully they are cheap on cars to!

TBH, I was a little young when I had her but struggled through and got my own flat, full-time job, etc. Eventually did it properly with the marriage and the 2 kids hence they are only 5 and 8.
Gavin has met her ;)
Thus speaks the voice of experience. I like women with experience;):-dd

Well done on her passing her test.
When's she doing her bike license?
Insurance for young folk is criminal, I'm sure 5 times the cost of insurance, is not representative of the extra risk.

Woo...well done mini Amanda!!!
It's a good day today :-)
She's not interested in the bike licence, which is OK with me. I think the best thing is to buy a cheap car and bite the bullet with the insurance. Nows not the time to put money into a nice car and the insurance will only be £90 a month, the car will be paid in full.
It will give her the experience in driving while getting the no claims discount to use for a better car later.
Good thinking, thats what I should have done..
Along with not crashing it... :)
Tell her well done :D
