    Depends on age, location etc.. I drive a 1.2 Fiesta myself and am paying €550 and thats with a full licence, 8 years no claims.

    As other posters said 2k is a pretty good quote given the market these days.

    Jump on it before they change their mind. On second permit, 30, no experience and the best I could get was 3.5k on a 9 year old 1.4 Focus. Put my dad of 62 on as named driver and it went up so I took him off.

    And the insurance company stuck to their prices they gave.. I don't want to buy the car and get a different price.

    29, 2nd Provisional with 2 years NCB driving a 1.4L Nissan Note.

    They were cheaper than the next nearest competitor by a few hundred quid. Get an online quote, then call them and see can they do any better. If possible pay the whole thing as a lump sum and that'll save you 10-15% too.

    I got a 6k quote for a 1.2ltr fiesta.


    Look into boxymo. Got fully comp for less then 1000. If your only learning its perfect. it tracks your driving and speeds. helps you remember not to go too fast!

    At 24 I would take that offer quick before it's gone. It's a great price for a learner of your age.

    Your licence number won't change your premium with AXA unless you have Ppoints

    If u give then the Reg # of car then it's accurate but chAnce you may only have five their quick quote . Ask for full underwriting quote to secure price for 2 weeks.
