To wonder how young people afford car insurance?

Dd is hopefully about to pass her test so I’m playing around getting car quotes for her. If we buy her a cheap, old 1ltr fiesta run around the quotes are £1500 for the year!

My car insurance firm won’t insure drivers under 25 so I can’t add her to my insurers unless I change insurance. I’ll go and get quotes for that in a minute but seeing as my car is a massive 1.8ltr car I can’t imagine it’ll be cheaper.

Can anyone please recommend a firm or some way of doing it cheaper. Go compare didn’t ask about black boxes and we’d be happy with this if it brought the quote down.

I know I’m not young (late 30s) but I passed my test this year.

I drive a Land Rover. Engine is 2.2L. Above quoted me £1,700 for fully comprehensive but with DH as a named driver it’s down to £1,400.

My niece also passed this year and she’s 19. She has a black box (and a Fiesta), which brought the insurance down. Think it’s around £1,900.
