    I can highly recommend using gocompare.com I searched using them recently and managed to reduce a premium from over £380 down to £112!

    For a real good lesson on getting the best premiums you may like to have a look here:

    The box said, "Requires Windows XP or better"...

    ... so I installed Ubuntu!

    Thanks for that guys. I'm doing a trawl of the compare sites as you suggest - always good to know if others have had positive experiences as well. Cheers

    If he is getting his own policy I would recommend Elephant.co.uk! I was quoted nearly £2k for my 1st car (1.6 ford escort) Elephant quoted me something like £1,006.87 I added my dad and limited my mileage to 7k (they don't ask your mileage) and it came to £800. They do a bonus plan where you buy 10months insurance and they give you 1 years NCB

    I asked my insurance company how much it would ost me to add my son on my policy...they wont put him on until he is 21!...must admit I was kinda glad tho x
    The nice thing about living in a small place is that if you dont know what you are doing....there's always somebody who does,or thinks they do! x

    I went with Tesco when I was 17, then moved to endsleigh.

    Tescos were fine and the cheapest at the time without a too big excess.
