    How's a going everyone just wondering could any one help me out in tackling the battle of getting my first insurance policy 😂
    18 at the moment with a provisional would I be best off to wait for my test and pass to get insurance?
    What's best quote I'd get now on the likes of a 11 polo or fiesta or a similar hatch back and would a newer or older car be cheaper to insure
    Any help appreciated cheers

    The only advice i will give just pass your test first, then get the car, its all about what you can afford really, something with cheap tax small engine for insurance 1.0/1.1.
    but if its not over 10/15 years old would help.

    What could I expect to be paying with a newish small engine car a 1.1 or 1.2 that's around 7-8 years old

    Just got insurance for young lad here last week. 3500 as named driver. Not quoting for cars older than 2010. Some places wont even quote. 11 ford focus diesel. Learner licence. Comprehensive insurance

    So if I got my full license and shopped around extensively I'll be nearly 19 looking to get around an 10-11 polo fiesta or focus i could expect to Pay 2500-3000
