    It's always going to be high your a learner seen as high risk. You could get one of your parents to insure the car and you go on as a named driver should cause the cost to go down a bit but maybe you don't want to go down that road.

    No that's what they were looking at, but even then it seems to be crazy expensive.
    Nothing less than €1500 anyway I think they said.
    If I can't get something much cheaper than that I'll have to wait until next year I guess!

    Hi,
    I am a 21 year old lad and got my first ever insurance policy with Axa on their student first policy. Just give that a quick google and fill in the form for an online quote. Then give them a ring and you'll probably get it cheaper. I got my insurance for 1300 for the year. Mind you I am 2 years older and my car is only a 1 litre. Worth a shot tho.
    Best of luck

    When listed with my Dad(now Resting in Peace) on his own car before I saved and bought my own, I was paying pittence. Yeah I was paying in & around 1100euro for my car insurance on provisional licence in my own car though.

    Be mindful of your insurance though especially with Axa. If involved in an accident as a learner driver with Axa and out driving on your own, then you are not covered by your insurance regardless of the monies you are paying them.

    Don't be afraid to ask around for quotes.

    Read the fine-print & ask questions before you part with your monies,

    /yeah I am aware Learner Drivers are not supposed to be out driving on their own too begin with, just something to be mindful of though.

    I agree there Triple-M.

    Anyone any idea on this Aviva free 6 month insurance deal when you go with their driving lessons? Since you have to pay a full year, will they rip you off for the 6 months that won't be free?

    Thanks,

    Curtis
    You dont pay for a full year. Its only 6 months insurance with a named driver. Its included as part of buying lessons with them.

    Wondering if there are any companies that are good for insuring girls who are first time drivers.

    Insurance companies can no longer rate based on gender so there are none that are specifically better priced for females.

    Try them all. Ring them all!! Its the only way!!

    They are merely a broker that target a female audience, but they don't offer females premiums that are better than males. That is illegal.

    When first starting to drive, I was insured with Axa on my Loving Dads car. When I purchased my own first car I remained with Axa and years later, still with Axa. Just found them great starting out and out of loyalty I remained on.

    Probably will be changing though next time my insurance is up for renewal as I'm hearing great news about brokers getting better quotes.

    Perhaps speak with a broker and also try Axa yourself.

    Hope that helps,

    There is no "cheapest", more "least expensive for me" as quotes depend on a multitude of factors. But prepare for to shell out, at least for the first year or two.
