Any tips on getting this down a bit? It’s a fiat 500 and new driver. Currently quotes are £1200. Got it down by £900 by changing from unemployed to student also added myself and made the insurance not start until two weeks time. Just checking in case anyone has any further tips before I pay this ridiculous amount!

I don't think that is unreasonable.

She is inexperienced and in charge of something that has the power to kill people and damage property.

When you look at it like that it is quite a bargain

Pa she is actually a student just on summer break so didn’t know if I could say she was a student
