Thanks in advance Are there any new car deals with free insurance? There were a few of those around when I was 18 ish and it worked out well financially. Might be worth crunching the numbers to do that for a year if such things exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giro Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Car insurance at that age is a joke. I just bit the bullet and paid like 250 a month when I started (wanted own no claims). Thankfully was living at home so was doable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Is that fully comp? I went TPFT for the first 5 or 6 years of driving as fully comp was too expensive. Even TPFT was £650 back in '98 (c£1200 today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks about the cheapest, fully comprehensive out there (RAC) do you get your Ride on Time with one of those as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 My advice is phone Adrian Flux and ask about their new driver policy. Both my kids have it. Need the black box though. Half what you've been quoted though but on group 1 - 5 cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
