Hey guys, im the holder of a provisonal driving license, im 17. Im trying to find the cheapest possible car insurance, to insure me for a K reg Vauxhall Cavalier.

Any ideas?

Go to www.confused.com and tap in your details.

Let them do the hard work for you. Failing that, try egg.com - I've always found them very competitive.

A cavy is a bit of a big car to learn in is it not?Have you investigated getting insured under one of your parent's policies?

tesco's is good... i use them but im 36 dunno what they r like for younger drivers

I've always used DirectLine. They have always been cheapest for me.

Try Liverpool Victoria. Failing that, Direct Line have always been the cheapest for me.

Tesco give me the best quote so I went with them

DON'T use any online services when you're young, the quotes are stupid.

Quotea.co.uk quoted me £2300 on a Mk2 Cavalier Calibre (2.0 8v, 130bhp... Essentially a limited edition SRi130) online, I phoned up and got a quote and it was £1900. I'm 17, class B postcode, garaged, Cat 2 Alarm.

ALWAYS phone about, online quote systems aren't advanced enough yet.

Really?

I had the opposite.

Tesco online quoted me £1186 for me and my sis, both provsional on a Citroen AX 1.1i (Group 3 Insurance)

I rang a few of them and got anything from £1600-£3400!! And thats 3rd party fire and theft

You have to try and ring for quotes from as many companies as you can. Try these as I've heard from friends they're pretty cheap: Tescos, Norwich Union, Churchill (the company im with).

Then search on the intenet for insurance companies and call for quotes

I've never had good experiences with online quotes, but insurance may aswell be random anyway. I've got cheaper quotes every time I've phoned up (From Quotea, Tesco, Footman James etc)...

Anyway, I still think insurance is 99% random, what works for one doesn't for others

big cars are better IMO, more momemtum, easier to drive and control at speed, harder to stall.

i passed my test in a volvo 945

Try directline, they are the cheapest for me

Im with Tesco and found they are one of the cheapest during the time i rang around. Why not try Norwich union, they might quote you happy... ( )

I tried directline when i was 17 and they quoted mr £2000+ on an Escort 1.3, went on my brothers policy in the end with the AA.

Most of mates are either with Tesco or Norwich Union so i'd try them both. Its a case of ringing round really, as people have said Internet quotations can be more expensive.

Try Confused.com they reckon they can find the cheapest.

Personally i found that seeing as young male (if you are male) drivers are the highest risk category by about 500 miles, i got my best quote from some random company i'd never heard of by using a broker. I used Hastings Direct, very painless since they searched about 60 companies (although it may still be worth trying tesco etc.). But yeah you need to use the phone quite a lot.
It's probably quite a good idea to insure in your own name asap (yeah i realise you're on provisional) too since you want some no claims bonus pronto. Thought about pass plus for when you pass?
Just don't do what i did and total your car a yeaer later, that doesnt help with quotes...

I've always found http://www.privilege.com to be the cheapest for me, but I'm 35 with a full bonus.

esure are suppose to have got prices

I never really could beat Directline for cheap quotes on my first few cars!
