I've found the car that I want and i'll enquire about it tomorrow but if I do get it i'll need insurance.
Where is the best place to get insurance from?

quinn if you only want it for the sake of having it so you can drive legally

Directline/gocompare/admiral are all worth looking at and finding the cheapest. Directline and admiral aren't on compare sites so they can offer better deals, gocompare is a compare site but it makes it a lot easier to find a cheap company. What car are you looking at?

Isn't there a cheaper way of doing this when you're a new driver? Something like getting the car and insuring it on your parents' name and getting them to put you down as a named driver. Makes it cheaper or something. Not too sure. xD
Sorry if I ****** that up completely, just trying to help. :)

Highly illegal... Insurers are always looking for ways out of having to pay and if they can prove you're the main driver (eg car kept at uni or something) then they won't pay out :)

It varies alot from car to car in some instances. Tesco worked out the best for me, while for others it's higher. Definitely try GoCompare for the mix of insurers, then try DirectLine and Admiral.

Ahh! Probably not the best idea then. :P

I'm on admiral multicar with my mum's 1.8 Zafira and my dad's 1.8 Vectra also on the policy. I'm the registered keeper of my car but my dad is the registered owner. I have a 2003 '52 reg Renault Clio 1.2 Dynamique, about £1400 a year.

If none of the above works, try less known companies such as Bell, Adrian Flux and Sky Insurance :)

First stop:

Go Compare

then either comparethemarket or confused.com

then go through the ones that aren't on compare sites such as directline (admiral are on compare sites btw, that's where I got my insurance).

You need to really look around cause there aren't really "cheap" companies, it varies from car to car from driver to driver.

admiral's rather good, I pay £1300 with me on the policy, with my uncle as a named driver with 2 years driving, 3 points and a ban.

I think i'm lucky that I got off with a 30 day ban and no points for what I was doing.. i don't drive like a lid anymore though.
