    I'm puzzled here ! I'm 17 and have a provisional licence and have just bought a 02 punto it's a 1.2 , and I got a. Quote from Aaran insurance for 1400 so I put the money in my bank to go a head and when I rang up they made a mistake with my age they said I was born in 1986 not 1996 so my quote went up👎 now I can't get insured any were and when I do get quotes there 4000 which is so high can anyone help or can anyone recommend anyone

    I still haven't got my licence either ! And I got a quote of them for 3400 or 2700 if I do lessons with one of there instructors which is still going to cost 3000 , there has to be somewhere out there that's cheap or something we can do ?

    I paid €1800 for insurance on a 99 Nissan Micra with Boxymo.ie The only downfall is I can't do more than 3600 miles for the year but I can deal with that instead of paying another €1500 or more with other insurers. I'm 17 as well by the way.. Its fully comprehensive insurance too.

    Pretty much this! Fwiw, OP, I've been with Aaran for ~6 years now and they've given me the cheapest quote every year. Stick with them and get your full license asap.

    I was planning on doing more mileage but I'd rather a years no claims bonus at the end of the year and not be out of pocket by thousands.

    Interesting product.... Would have saved me 3000 starting out. Very good idea rather than suffering the stigma of being 17 and having a huge premium!

    I paid 4400 starting out in 2004!
