Its the age that's the killer (not literally, I hope), not the car.
Get insured in your parents name with you as a named driver buddy - its the only way your not going to pay a ridiculous amount. There are other ways you can save an extra few quid but I wont mention them in here cos im sure this paragraph will give the people paying over the odds enough to complain about..  |
The insurance companies have cracked down on this though, especially if the car is in the 17yr old's name. You might as well just bite the bullet like I had to and pay a large amount. It'll be better when you've got a years no claims. So basically - get your own policy in your own name, and add your parents as named drivers, maybe other people the insurance company would class as "trustworthy", eg grandparents.
