18, insured under mums name with me as extra driver, mods declared, £257 pa. Love it :P

Post office.


Now that sounds like a good deal.


I have found Post Office do good deals for young'ns and old'ns.

PostOffice randomly sent me one through to me about my mini with 1 years no claims full comp and no limited mileage.

IT will get even cheapen when i tell them i've got pass plus completed, and probably do 8k limited mileage.

Despite being a good deal, it's also illegal unless his mother is indeed the main driver. It's called fronting.

On my own insurance when I hit 17 it's going to be about £850 TPFT with ensleigh, unless footman james or liverpool victoria can quote me cheaper!

I was under my mum's insurance before i got my mini. Now i've got my own policy on the mini. It's with a firm called Swinton. Its really good policy. Quite cheap especially saying that i'm only 18 and insurance is normally sky high!

I'm 18 and male with a full UK License and have a 1991 Mainstream Cooper my mods, which are air filter, wide wheel arches, 13x7 alloys and exhaust are all declared and am named driver under my mums name was quoted £1500 when I bought the car while I had my provisional. After I passed my test my mum told the insurance company, who are Quinn Direct and they said I have to pay £700 or the insurance would be canceled because I'm now driving the car on my own. >:) :P

So I ended up having to pay £2200 for my insurance.

I'm going to search till my figures fall off to find the best possible quote when renewal is due.
