Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Insurance for a learner Driver

cbres · 2016-01-09 15:31:55

I will be 17 in September and I was wondering how much insurance would generally cost for a first time learner driver. I would probably be driving a 152 van, which is registered in my parents name. I'm living in Donegal which might make it more expensive also. If anyone could help out, that would be great.

Ring around brokers and insurers and get quotes.

If the van is registered in (one of) your parents' name then you will need to be added as a named driver to the existing policy which means the answer to your question can only be supplied by whoever they're insured with. Don't be surprised if you get an outright refusal for a commercial vehicle.
