Girly insurance ?

We bought our daughter a nice little first car today .. (supprise 18th birthday prezzy .. gunna drive it to pick her up from the hair salon she works at on Saturdays) she will be expecting me in the Jeep, so wont see me and phone to find out where I am ... to which I'll say .. "I'm sat waiting for you in YOUR car" and get out and wave at her

Anyone know a cheap ins. company for a first time girly driver ?

You big softy! What a nice thing to do

No idea, sorry, but what a lovely birthday present!

don't bother with the insurance companies just for women they were 3 times as much as anywhere else.

I'm with admiral and they easily gave me the cheapest price

Didnt they now abandon the cheap girl insurance ??

so what car have you bought her anyway , pray tell

Lambo

supposedly but there are still companies that just insure women, but they are a pain in the *, most don't like to insure drivers under 25 and when they do it costs a fortune

Well .. I say lambo, but its a little known fact that Lamborgini made a model that looked exactly like a 52' plate ford fiesta .. and we were lucky enough to find one

Wow lucky you

As for insurance try compare the market for a good price I wouldn't know where to start now.

im afraid a young persons insurance is a fortune. My son who got his first car at 18 paid well over £1200 a year

Insurance is stupid prices now even for me who has 17 years no claims. Only suggest compare sites, just hope you find a good deal.
Nice thing to do mate, your gonna be a little hero on saturday

my son passed his test on friday,he's got a 1.2 fiesta and was charged £1250 for his insurance,not a happy boy

I'm with axa

Oh Andy what a lovely daddy you are!

Ref insurance - I think that thanks to sexual equality, girlies don't get preferential rates any more, we all have to shell out because of the boy racers.

I've looked at sites like Sheilas Wheel but got a better deal with my current insurers (which is Saga, which won't help your daughter - sorry).

Comparethemarket.com and similar are the best ways to find the best insurance. It won't be cheap, however .....

Cheers all .... ok, to put things in perspective, we insured my lads 1.0 Corsa, worth £1000 two yrs ago for £2900!! .. cheapest!!

So far I've got £2500 for this 1.3 Fiesta (tho I've gotta try my own ins. tomorrow) .. its feckin stupid money ... Wendy and Mark, Stella, where did you get those price's .. I'd actually be happy with those at the mo

for young drivers, try bell.co.uk they are a part of Admiral, and about the only competitive ones for me. also, a trick i've found is have mum as a named driver (as long as she has a clean licence and no bumps) it saved me almost £100 this year alone,

btw, the fester is a great little car, only real common thing they suffer from is the thermostat housing on the petrol zetec engines (relativley cheap to repair)

i pay £90 a month on my new car now for my insurance with business class 1 on it now which put it up a little, and have just got 3 years no claims, but when i first pasted i paid £1100 after ALOT of shopping around

i'll ask where he got his insurance from when he gets in andy,i know he paid it all in one go so i think that made it a little cheaper,he's skint now and cant afford the petrol to put in it

Cheers for all the help guys .. but my oh finally got what appears to be great deal concidering the rest of the quotes we had

£1500 FULLY COMP !!!!!

So the plan for the big supprise on Saturday is on !!

Nice one mate.
Bet you can't wait. Try and get a pic of her reaction.

Great stuff Andy.

Just one thing - when I was young like your daughter ( ) I used to get Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance as it was cheaper than Fully Comp (and especially if the Fully Comp premiums were more than the car was worth). Is it not so nowadays?

Yeah thats pretty much the case nowadays too, and a lot of companies wont even entertain the idea of insuring a first timer fully comp, which is another reason why this is such a brilliant deal, and its great for us to think our daughter is covered fully comp from the word go .. my wife actually made the woman on the phone spell it out, saying wheres the catch !! as they were a grand less than the cheapest TPFT quote anywhere else ... I've gone through the details they emailed us, and its all good .. proper result

Mike - yeah I wanna get a pic of her with the keys by the car just after givin them to her, and I'm gonna photoshop over the top .. "Jan 26th 2013 .. Independence Day!" .. and frame it for her for a memory

I'm with admiral, found them to be very reasonable

funny anough a couple of years back when my brother in law was getting himself on the insurance ladder tpft was coming back more expensive than most fully comp policys
