I am wondering if there is anywhere that gives a reasonable rate for nannies' car insurance - I have rung around and also done a search on GoCompare, and we are looking at a four-figure sum, thanks to her being under 21.

I have a 20yr old au pair insured as a named driver on a high power car with Elephant for £500 (it's my car but she uses it during the day - I guess it would be a lot more if she had sole use of car).
Others were recommending the tesco basic insurance.
Elephant have a scheme where the excess charge decreases as the driver gets older so our excess is currently £350 if she's driving but will go down next week when she turns 21.

Admiral are pretty good for adding Teens, so may be worth a try?

Are you trying to get nanny on your policy as a named driver, or a policy in their own right?
Have you spoken to your current insurer - as you have a policy with them already, they may be able to give the best quote.
