Make sure you phone them. LV are good if you are young on a low insurance group car. They will not insure anyone under 21 on anything higher than grp10, even though their site will quote.

yea, the internet ones are just random numbers! if your car is a reasonable group ie no evos at 17 then the quote is lower when you phone. if it is over grp 10 they just tell you they won't insure you when you phone them!
