Re: Young Driver Insurance
Don't get me started on that. I've got full bike and car NCB but not taken into account for car insurance or each other. If I have a claim on either though they're all phucking ears!
Re: Young Driver Insurance
A great deal depends on the car mate >:(
Have you tried go compare ?
Re: Young Driver Insurance
Price comparison sites for car insurance don't take bike quals into account. We were going to transfer his mum's 1999 ford focus 1.6lx.
I will send him to try a local insurance broker

Re: Young Driver Insurance
Bob, you'll be lucky to get a half-sensible quote on a car like a Focus 1.6. Like you say, it's horrendous out there. I had someone pass their car test last week, owns a 1.3 MkII Golf, cheapest quote £2800 tpft. I've yet to hear of an insurance company who takes biking qualifications into account. As far as I'm aware, Co-op Insurance are working out cheapest for young drivers, but that's still not cheap... :(
Re: Young Driver Insurance
My son and daughter found adding me and/or their dad as named drivers lowered the quotes......ok both of us have full no claims etc so that prob makes a difference....and also helps as I can borrow their cars if i get stuck or they need a taxi (uses their fuel not mine hehehehehe) ;D ;D
Re: Young Driver Insurance
1) As others have said pay attention the model of car.
2) Add on someone older as a named driver as this reduces the premium. Female is best. Doesn't matter if they never driver the car. But he must be declared the main driver if he is.
3) Have a look at coverbox, i-kube and insure the box. They install a tracker. Works out well for some young people.
4) Try IAM Surety.
Re: Young Driver Insurance
5) Also wait for the European decision today on whether insurers are allowed to discriminate against men.
