    Online quote systems are unlikely to give anyone under 18 a quote, best call them.

    Call them, even if they refuse you call other providers, after 3 refusals the first who refused a quote must insure you - but it won't be pretty!

    I thought these days you had to be at least 18 before taking the test?

    Simples; you're 17, and looking to buy a 2L BMW.
