Cheapest first time driver insurance

Michael17899

Just wondering if anyone would know places with cheap insurance for 17yr old with provisional and 1l car anywhere that offers deals for taking lessons with them etc

I got insurance with First Choice Ireland on a Learner Licence on a Golf MK5 1.4

I am using a tracking box But cuts insurance to 1,650 instead of 3k-4k

Am 19 and a half.I wouldnt say there much difference between a 17 year old learner and a 19 year old learner.Test in a little over a week

i wouldnt like the thought of having a tracking device in the car with me

2000 euro for insurance in 2008 on my own policy as 19 year old.

320 euro in 2016

Ye i know its a pain but sure id rather pay less for insurance and buy a nice car which i did (2006 golf mk5) than buying a heap of ****e and paying thousands for insurance!

Insurance without the box from the same company would of been 4200 a 2550 difference!
I can get the box removed next year and pay less for insurance if i drive reasonably good!

I definitely wouldn't recommend Axa, I was quoted almost €6000 for my own policy on a 1.4 :eek:

Your looking at an average €3000 on your first insurance if you don't go the tracking system on a 1l car .
It's not just 17 year olds getting big quotes I'm 37 on a learners permit cheapest I've been quoted is €2700 or 1900 with a boxymo don't think I'll go through that route myself

I ask boxymo, they just provide cover for provisional license, not for learner permit.

I thought so but they are not the same.
I got very good quote from boxymo. Then I contacted the online chat from that website to confirm if provisional license is the same as learner permit, they said NO. What a disspointed

It is. Learners Permits replaced the old "provisional licence" system years ago.
