Quinn are NI only now.

Whats your postcode area? Try adding parents on as second drivers. Basically just try pretty much everyone online to figure out who will be cheapest, then spend an afternoon ringing round places and see if you can hammer them down any more.

Failing that, try a more insurance friendly car lol

The only downside with comparison sites is that you will then be harassed on the phone by all the companies over the coming weeks/months. Put in a false number if you havent already.

Cheapest for me is Elephant. No idea if they cover NI, as said adding parents or drivers with a good-clean history will help. Completing a Pass-plus course might knock off more than the cost of the course cost itself.

Elephant, Swiftcover and Adrian Flux were my cheapest quotes when I was younger, but I wasn't as young as you. I'd put off any modifications until you have a year or twos worth of NCB behind you. Cooltiger modified his from the off and seemed to spend most of his monthly pay packet on insurance.

insurance seems to be expensive for the younger driver atm, as said try comparison sites or ringing round will be better really:)
