Insurance for learner driver

€2k for a person with a learners permit is good. The only way to know is to contact all the other companies and brokers and compare the policy features.

Yes if she's a secondary/named driver she will not have the same no claims bonus as the policy owner of the car she is insured on. Some insurers, I know Aviva do/did give some degree of discount for named driver experience. Have you tried other cars to get insured on, is the Yaris a Japanese import, if it is that can bump the policy due to ease of theft. €2k is likely in or around what it's going to cost for year 1 at age 22, I was paying more than that when I started out.

€2,000 for 22 year old male is a good quote.

That's life we have all been there. My 1st insurance was over €2,000.

It came down quickly though, within next two years once I had my full licence and 2 years no claims bonus etc.

Lessons?

Pay for his mother to put him on her insurance of her car?

He can't drive unaccompanied anyway so unless he's going to be bringing his mother or someone with a full license over 2 years everywhere, nights out, college etc, it's pointless getting his own car.

Try getting quotes for young drivers, or any drivers, in the UK or USA and you'll see that our insurance isn't that bad. We can't compare to Europe as they have different legal systems.

I'm looking for this right now for an 18 year old.

Boxymo is 1700 and AIG is 1600

I bought her a 1 litre Corsa to start her off. She will not be out unaccompanied.

That's super. My daughter did her theory test in Dundalk on Saturday so now to get an eye test and apply for licence. Any tricks or tips to get it down more? I tried it both with just her, and then her and me as a named driver.

You can't bargain really until there's a full license. Then sges better off going out on her own with insurance.

The thing with Boxymo and AIG is that they require a BOX to be fitted to the car. It records their speed, driving behaviour, mileage. When you take out the insurance it's for x miles per year. If you run out, you buy more. My lad has 14km for the year in his insurance for the €650.

Some young ones don't like the box being installed. But tbh, it's a peace of mind knowing there's an eye being kept on him. But also, there should be no issue with someone young getting the box. If they are behaving in the road in the car, they've no reason to not have it. The box should be mandatory in all young peopkes cars tbh.

2,000 euro seems expensive but thats a great quote compared to what most people get. my mom tried putting me(19years old) on her insurance 2months ago and axa quoted 5,700 euro to be a second driver on her car . Axa said it is expensive but thats life for young drivers according to them. My mom did not go through with it so basically the only driving experience i can get is doing the EDT lessons. I wish my quote was 2,000!

Boxymo are good for first time Provisional Drivers - being as they use a GPS tracker in the car to track your driving they seemed more inclined to give good rates.

The cost is based on miles travelled per month, but if you drive safe you keep getting bonus miles so even if you select a low figure at the start you will have excess miles to spare.
