    You'll have to pay for 12 months up front, but you can cancel mid way through the policy and the insurance company will give you a refund. I'd double check with your insurance company about administration fees as well. Most companies only charge you a nominal fee for cancelling, but some companies will charge you quite a punitive fee.

    i don't think that's correct stark, iirc correctly i got insured for 6 months on my dads car. it could be that his policy was up in 6 months though i'm not sure.
    can you not pay monthly by direct debit and then cancel after 6 months?

    Well that's true, you could pay direct debit. Direct debit on my insurance had 19.9% APR so it wasn't really an option for me.

    Yeah it is possible to get 6 month insurance. Hibernian do a 6 month insurance for learner drivers, AND you get 10 or 11 lessons into the bargain. You would have to ring them about it as they don't advertise it. 10 lessons and 6 months insirance ain't bad for 350 quid? As far as I know its 350 regardless of age/gender, you just pay for the 10 lessons in bulk and you basically get 6 months insurance too.

    I wouldn't recommend the lessons as my tutour didn't say anything and was very obnocious (spelling) in my opinion and he was never very reliable as he cancelled the lessons a lot. In fact i had to get a further 2 lessons to help me pass my test.

    But hey, it still works out a lot cheaper!

    350 quid for 10 lessons + 6 months insurance = WIN!
