    Hi everyone, please help me out.!

    I've just started driving lessons (I've done 2 so far) and I really want to get practicing in my mums car. It's an Opel Astra 1999, 1.4 engine. I've got one quote already and it was in the €4000 region, I nearly died when I heard.!! :eek: I'm in the Tipperary area and I've had my permit for a month now

    Any advice or anyone been in the same boat before.?? :confused::confused:

    Thanks for reading :)

    For you to drive your Mum's car, it will have to be a policy in her name with you as an an additional driver. What has her current insurer quoted to add you as a named driver? It shouldn't be anywhere near that

    Your Mum needs to get on the phone and ring around. Log on to Axa.ie to get an indication. Remember to put her details in as proposer

    Just yesterday I added my 18yo son to my policy on a 1.4 litre 2000 reg car

    Cost for approx 9 months was almost 800 as a named driver (yes, still pricey)

    First Ireland seems to be recommended for those who have done their EDT and want first insurance in their own name...
