Hello,
I'm thinking of buying my first car at the moment. It's a 3 door 1999 corolla 1.3 litre engine. I've only just started to learn to drive in the past few months so have very little experience (am a late learner at 25).
I went for an insurance quote and recieved €1,880 from Quinn Direct.
Has anyone any recommendations on how to lower this? A couple of things I was considering were ...
1. Getting a parent on the insurance and myself as named driver.
2. Attempting the driving test as soon as possible to reduce the premium.
Is an insurance quote your stand still quote for the year? i.e. if i were to pass my test in 4 months time am I stuck with the excessive premium for the entire year?
Also, am I delaying the inevitable by placing one of my parents as the owner? I realise I would not be building up my own no claims bonus?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
