This post was 3 months ago, so I would assume that you solved your problem. If not look at www.provisionalmarmalade.co.uk This is a policy written in your name allowing you as a learner driver to practice in a friend's or family car whilst under supervision. It does not affect the primary insurance on the car, so if you do make a claim, it ...

Listen back to BBC Moneybox programme from last Saturday - this subject was covered http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/moneybox/8107489.stm

I am connected with Young Marmalade but, of course, cannot make specific recommendations in an open forum. Credit for anyone under the age of 21 with limited credit profile is a tough challenge, which is made easier with support from another family member who has a decent credit profile, usually in the form of a guarantee. Alternatively, Young ...

The last reply about Norwich Union and their Open Policy was nearly a year ago and insurance generally for young drivers has changed significantly over the period. Google search Open Policy from Norwich Union the only real reference is this forum thread and a few oblique comments which say that Open Policy is excluded from quoting software used by ...

Forum rules dictate otherwise - promotion is prohibited The 1st year insurance premium under the scheme I mentioned for a 17/18 year old girl is £595. But it is a scheme designed to get young drivers mobile in a safer car with low cost insurance. Smala01 - whilst I am flattered that you agree with me, I think you need to do a little ...

Whether I live in a wealthy area or not has nothing to do with my comments. I deal with young drivers all over the country. Fact - a 17 year old male can insure a new or nearly new car for a 12 month premium of £995 - fully comprehensive, in their name and earn a 35% no claims bonus. The premium is identical regardless of post code or ...

You were making a statement that is not backed up by any facts. All you are doing is making an unsubstantiated claim that tars most young drivers with the same brush. The facts are that most young people aged between 17 and 20 do not hold a driving licence and there have been various surveys that have asked the questions. Costs of running a car ...

A rather strange post in which the first point tells us that most young people either don't bother driving or if they do, are unisured. Goverment stats show that in the 90's, 48% of 17-20 year olds held a licence - 10 years later the figure dropped to 26% and has crept up a little ever since. So even if just one driver did not have ...

I agree, those that try things in the market should be applauded and whilst the NU scheme did have its positive points, it ran shy of putting controls in place that would have made the scheme successful. Now we are being told that it will be back with more restrictions and more costs. There is a scheme for young drivers linking low cost ...

The telematics system works well in Eire but over here there was too much competition for it to be really effective. It was worth trying as young drivers need something as they are just being priced out of the market.
