I find that quite an average price for her age, i am 17 and passed in august this year,on the day i passed i was quoted £48,000 for a 1litre corsa 8 years old!!! However when my parents called their insurance company to see how much it would be for me on their policy and their car (peugeot 307) they said £2750, which for some stupid reason i agreed to and am skint every month as my part time job only just covers it lol
p.s. its not illegal if anyone thinks that, we checked with the company before we added me to policy

£48,000 on a Corsa?!

Not surprised its almost £3k on a Peugeot 307 though, theyre awful to insure

I have a neighbour. She's 19 now but just after her 18th birthday she got an 07 astra. That cost her 3 grand insurance.

Astras aren't great to insure either! If she had a cheaper car I bet the insurance would be half that

Tell me about it. I moved from a 2 seater MX5, 4 years old, 2litre with a soft top, to a 3 year old 1.8 Astra - and I couldn't believe it cost me MORE to insure the bliddy thing!

Yeah true. She had a corsa. She's an only child and her parents split up so yeah they spoilt her with a 7 grand astra I think it cost and with 3 grand insurance. At a young age you should really only have a small car to run about in unless you have the money to burn.

But yeah insurance is expensive. I don't blame people who use public transport or wait a few years to get their own car.

Quite true IF you are riding around in their Peugeot 307 but if you are using the Corsa you are driving uninsured!

Yeah it's very pricey. I waited until I was 21 to have my own car and my own insurance. From the ages of 17-21 I was just a named driver on my parents insurance. But it gave me chance to save up and have a car I can afford on my own

If my insurance doesn't go down next year I will be well pissed off. I have never been in an accident *touch wood* but a few months ago they said women have to pay the same as men. Pffft.
