Choose a car based on its insurance for 17 year olds

Picking the right car can make a huge difference to your insurance price. There’s nothing worse than travelling miles to see a potential new car and falling in love, before you’ve even looked at how much it’s going to cost you in terms of young driver insurance.

It’s always best to run a few quotes through before you buy. You don’t even need to know the car registration number to get a young or learner driver insurance quote, just enter as many details as you can at ingenie.com to get an idea of what you could be paying.

Think about cars in low insurance groups too, as they’re not only cheaper to insure – they’re also likely to have low vehicle tax and could even be exempt.
