Hi guys. I'm afretr some advice. My lad is 17 in May and desperate to drive, I doubt I'd get him insured for the van and don't really want him using it. Do any of you have recent experience of the best/cheapest way to get him insured and what's the best option in a car sub 2K.

17 year old new driver insurance
I think I'd be happier with a black box in the car. My lad is 17 in July and it looks like a VW Up! / Skoda Citigo / Seat Mii will all come in at £860 ish once he has a full licence. In the meantime I've just reinsured my 2008 Mini Cooper for £157 which goes up to about £400 with him on as a learner (and then £1200 as a full driver but there's no way he's driving a mini cooper with my NCB and history at risk)
A long shot but how about a brand new car that comes with free insurance, Vauxhall used to do this offer quite a bit, a few hundred a month on pcp and hand it back in 2/3 years, by which time hopefully he has a few years NCD. I found out quite a few local kids had done this as I was wondering how/why new drivers were rolling in brand new cars, small and basic hatchbacks but nether the less still a lovely car for a youngster.
Never looked at it myself so may be no good or not even offered anymore.

My lad has got a Morris minor and hes been driving for a couple of years now. Cheap insurance, no black box or restrictions , no tax, easy to maintain and hes always being asked about Wilfred (the car) T:
How about a tractor?

Ingenie gave a good price for my 17 year old son in a 1.2 Polo with black box fitted. At renewal it was around £500 after 9 months as a qualified driver plus you get money back if they drive well.
Hi,
In the real world there isn't really a cheap option for 17 year old drivers I'm afraid. Most insurers would require the fitment of a black box to get a competitive premium nowadays.
Whilst we are able to cover 17 year olds on our VW camper van scheme we wouldn't be able to provide cover for him to be a named driver ,however it doesn't sound like this was a route you really wanted to go down anyway.

Dan.

I remember a few years back you could get free insurance on a new Saxo or 106 and a few first time drivers were going that route.
