    Hi,

    My daughter has turned 16 recently and we are looking into getting her a scooter or small (100cc) motorbike. Let's assume she has her IBT done, do people have any idea what sort of insurance premium she would be looking at?

    Thanks,

    Prof

    Put in her details here and get an idea from the online quote.

    I cant imagine any of the other insurers will give a competitive quote to a learner so young with zero no claims.

    It doesn't seem too bad for a starter.

    Have you looked at what helmet, boots, pants, jacket, gloves will cost ?
    Will your daughter wear the full gear ?

    I left the rider training blank. Remember this is dependent on her having the IBT. Also, you're a guy and we all know they heavily load premiums for guys (or used to .... it's illegal now). Actually I am assuming you're a guy ... sorry.

    €2100 on a 50cc worth €1000 when I was 18... still makes me cringe!
