If its standard go for Direct line. They gave me the cheapest quote as a new driver out of anyone as a named driver with my mum as main driver. For comparison i paid £1000 for a saxo 1.4, 17yrs old, no mods.

its a joke how much it is for insurance theese days .. hopefully if i add my mate as a named driver to the churchill quote of £2500 it should go down a little i know hes been driving for years no claims ect: so will see how this goes tomorrow guna get insured no matter what

my mum is paying a £1000 towards my insurance and i will pay the rest she's had it saved for me for a while now so thats nice of her shame she dont drive her self and dont speak to the father hes a nob

Insurance is silly at the moment.

My friend at college was doing insurance quotes for 1.0-1.2 corsas, for 1.2's he was getting like £3300.

My quotes with 1 years no claims, with most companies its more than what im paying now and i currently have 0 NCB

And I thought Norwich Union didnt 'quote me happy' when they wanted almost £2,000 for my 12v Corsa but £6,000 is fucking rediculous. Who in their right mind would pay that much for such a basic car.

Try Admiral and Lloyds TSB. I paid £1300 for my first year on the 12v with Lloyds.

Just get on your parents insurance for a year or two, will be much cheaper, and most of them give NCB to named drivers now as well.

Technically illegal, but everyone does it

Not if you tell them that the proposer isn't the owner of the vehicle. My dad is the proposer on both his and my mum's insurance but my mum is the registered keeper of her car. Never had a problem.

Instead of fronting as being suggested above try adding parents as named drivers instead.

Try elephant and admiral aswell, theye been the cheapest for me on the punto and then when I changed to the civic

if you do that pass plus (I know its gay etc) it does actually knock some off. I got from 1900 to 1600 cheapest i could get =\
