Depends on what you call cheap ..... step son has 1 years ncd , just had to swap his insurance over from a 1.0 fiesta mk3 to a 51 plate fiesta 1.25 , he had paid £1600 back in October for the mk 3 and then had to pay another £350 on top to get insured for the balance of the policy to take it up to october this year , and that was as cheap as ke could get it .... not trying to pee people off but if you at 18 can afford a Fiesta ST then guess you should be able to afford the insurance

yeah but insurance companies aren't stupid, if you have your mum as the owner and you as a named driver, they will know you are the main driver, especially if your mums been driving a normal run of the mill motor for years

I must admit they do hammer young drivers. We always made our kids go by themselves as you have to go by yourself in the end. Make sure you tell the insurance company if there are any mods on the car, alloys and the like, otherwise if you have a bump or claim they wont pay out, so you have paid hundreds/thousands of pounds for nothing. x

Forget it mate, sorry, you're too young and inexperienced for any insurers to touch you at a halfway close to cheap price.
You cannot get your mum to insure it and you be a named driver as This is called "fronting" which is insurance fraud, a criminal offence. Hertfordshire police have been seizing a few cars of late for this very offence.
Get yourself another 2 years under your belt, you'll be a lot more wise and far lesser risk to the insurers and yourself

[QUOTE=warrenpenalver;5413446]having your mum as a named driver is fine. Having you as a named driver on her policy is fronting if your really main driver and a totally false economy not to mention illegal.
Glad I'm not the only one who gets pissed off at this fronting practice.

Ace at least one plod force not sitting on it's arse, I reported a mate for fronting.

I don't see how you guys are paying higher insurances costs for people that front insurance.
If you are fronting your insurance and then go and crash the car, your insurers will not pay you (the driver) any money for repairs to there car if you are found to be fronting, but they do pay for repairs to the persons car that you smashed into. Therefore, I can not see how on earth you are paying more for your insurers due to fronters.
It's not fronters that are causing the rising insurance prices. It's the corrupt government, corrupt insurance companys and corrupt people that file false injury claims. That is whats causing the rising insurance prices, not fronters.
P.S, and no, I do not have an issue with people who front insurance, especially with the prices the way they are nowadays. Even if someone is fronting, they are still insured to drive the car and there insurers will still cover repairs to my car if they smash into me, so why should I worry?
It's un-insured drivers that I hate. They are the dickheads, not fronters.

At the end of the day, fronting is a deviant thing to do to the insurers, but they are money grabbing bastards and never show us, the motorists, any kindness when it comes to claiming so I think they deserve everything they get.
Besides, fronters are still insured if they hit your car, so why does everyone get so upset about it? I certainly wouldn't go as far as to report a mate for it, unlike that bitch tabetha!

I can understand reporting people who "front", but I wouldn't report a mate for doing it.
It's a mate, talk about destroying trust in one fell swoop!
I insure my car legitimately by the way, and have done since I passed my test. I do NOT condone fronting AT ALL. I'm just pointing out that it seemed odd to be grassing somebody up that is a mate.

You sound like a real nice guy (NOT) as already said, insurance for young drivers these days is an absolute joke they aren't all yobs you know! I passed my test 9 years ago and have never put a foot wrong penalty wise and for the 1st 3 years I went on my dads as a named driver paying absolute peanuts to insure my 1.4SR nova around £300 compared to my mates £2000 also earned no claims bonus on my dads policy as a named driver then went on my own at age 20 and managed to get a ok premium put it this way I was driving a civic type R at 22 for around £600 a year so how people can say its false economy is absolute rubbish just got to be clever about it OH and not being an idiot also helps,
Fronting or no fronting it saved me thousands in insurance premiums and il do exactly the same for my own lad one day

They fronted to save themselves money, or to drive a car that they were otherwise unable to insure at all. TBH, it's one notch up from driving without insurance.
When I was 17 I genuinely, honestly and sincerely believed I was a great driver. Even after crashing my car twice, it wasn't my fault - a defective tyre, and the geriatric that hit me (that one really wasn't my fault), but in both cases maybe with more experience I could have avoided the damage).
Both my boys passed their test, and then Pass-Plus. Touch wood, the minor bumps they both had right at the start showed them they had a lot to learn and I'm happy to say they are both better drivers than me, and are on the road legitimately.
And let's not start on the whole keyboard-warrior "I hate grasses" argument again. We've been there and done that and if you care enough you can go look for the old thread(s).

Correct.
Though if they then take a year's insurance, at the end of that their renewal notice should state (for example) 3 years NCB which could be taken elsewhere.

you have options
1) stick with what you have got rack up NCB
2) Buy/ make a replica
3) go one step up to a zetec s they are more insurable
4) pay the stupid ammounts for the st
im in the same boat as you mate you just gotta get experience and older and keep your licence clean, im keeping what ive got but on the hunt for a ZS
as for fronting dont bother with it although going in your own name is more expensive at first it works out cheaper
i was
1st year £2,875
2nd year £895
3rd year £385
my mate who fronted was
1st year £1,750
2nd year £1,550
3rd year £1,200
and his quotes for next year on his own at 20 with no ncb are high aswell

The guy asking this question is the same guy who thinks it is perfectly ok to put an ST150 engine in a lower model shell and not tell the insurance company about it. If this is your grand plan why bother insuring your car at all because it would be a waste of money as the insurance would be invalid any way, hell dont tax it either as you will be paying the wrong tax for the car also.
Your young, inexperienced and your insurance will be high, deal with it, we all managed.

Puts me in mind of some words of wisdom back when I was young and the world's best driver:
"Any fool can go fast in a straight line, so spend your money making the car quicker through the bends!"
Upgrading the engine without doing the same with brakes and suspension is just silly.

Like someone already said - bite the bullet for the 1st year's insurance and prices will plummet. On a mk3 fiesta Mine went 1300 (ten years ago) TPFT to 700 fully comp on a pug 106.
Then 650 on a focus 1.8 to 330.
Then 470 on a focus ST3 when I was 24.
Like I say, bite the bullet and bide your time
