Cheap UK car insurance UK - Student?

This question is asked dozens of times a day. Nobody can tell you with any degree of accuracy whether you'll pay £500 or £5,000 a year, but as an 18 year old student it's going to be expensive. There's no substitute for shopping around. The companies that use a 'black box' do tend to be cheaper, but not always. Search for previous questions in a similar vein on YA!

if you had a brain (and you are a student FFS) you'd know why they want to put this box in your car. Sounds like you are a really bad driver, which is what the box is designed to monitor. So you are best off the road until you grow up. plenty of buses and presumably you have legs.

There is only one way of finding the best deal and it is a tried and tested method from a well known TV and radio guest who has an independent money saving expert website. The site sells nothing just gives advice - Get quotes from at least 4 different comparison sites - none deal with all of the possible 200 ish insurers so do this to cover them Get quotes from Aviva and Direct Line as they are on none of the comparison sites Do not believe what they say when they reckon the best deals are on the net - its just wrong. Now use the best 2 or 3 quotes to get on the phone and haggle.

You wouldn't believe how many times this gets asked on here...... Stock answer is ask an insurance company, and if it seems expensive that's because it is when you're 18. Regard anything under £3000 as a bargain.
