Sorry for a bit OT, but lots on here should have experience.

The wife and I are both ~50.
We have Nissan 1.4 Almera, P reg and Nissan 1.6 Primera, L reg.

The Almera (group 6) is ~240, the Primera (group 9)~270 pounds.
Both fully comp with Zurich, including Green Flag. Neither of us have
claims, convictions, points.

My boy is about to turn 17 and getting a prov licence.

Zurich are asking for ~1000 to add to either car as a named driver.
Seems totally outrageous to me.
(Very little difference between Primera or Almera)

We can accept big restrictions, eg. he drives only accompanied by us,
daylight only, 3rd party liability only, etc.

Also, he can only drive one car at a time, so why can't they accept
him on both for same price ?

Is it possible for him to get his own insurance on (say) the Almera -
at maybe a lower price ?

So basically, I'm looking for suggestions for lowest cost insurance
for a 17 year old with a prov licence. I hear Tesco are cheap for
young drivers.

[BTW: My first insurance, at 17 cost 50 quid for 3rd party fire theft
on a Vauxhall Viva.]

Thanks in advance.

First thing is to put him in for a sex change ;)
We had a 106 diesel, group 5 I think, and insured it with Co-Op. Cost about
£500 all in for my wife and 18 YO daughter on a provisional. Wife had full
NCB.
My other daughter at 19 got an old Golf (mark 1) and got insurance through A
Quote for about £600 This was for just her, with no NCB. (Classic insurance)
Younger daughter is now 21 and has a Clio. Still in wife's name at the mo,
but she is named driver as she can get her own NCB this way with Direct
Line. Cost just under £300.
All this is for TPF&T.
We live just inside the M25.
The other thing, how many miles per year do you travel? We were able
truthfully to put down 6k, which also made a difference.
