    I'd say ?849 is about right for an 18y/o on a Nova these days. Have you tried elephant or admiral, with your mum or dad on as a second driver? Adding my sister to my Celica saved me ?200.

    If you insure the car in your mum or dads name and you just a named driver and insure with direct line that should be cheaper. They give the policy holder and named drivers no claims bonus. Pretty good scheme for young drivers to build up no claims without crazy prices. Hope it helps

    I'm quite sceptical of the "second driver earns NCB" schemes - more often than not, other insurance companies won't honour that as legit earned NCB, and the original company will usually purposefully keep renewal prices high as they're "trapped" you.

    The wife renewed her tesco car insurance this week. Her renewal quote was ?240, but by putting through a completely fresh quote online on tesco website with exact same information, she came out with a quote ?30 cheaper!

    Just goes to show, you should always shop around, even if only as far as your own insurance company.
