I waited until I turned 18 until I went to get my drivers permit. I’ve had my permit since November 18 2009. I plan to stay on the permit until its expiration date.
I’m not sure what car I plan to purchase after that, something affordable (nothing over the top) and that will last quite awhile.
Now assuming all that, can any of you share with me what your car insurance payment is monthly, just an estimate of course. And throw in what type of car you have in so I can get a better idea.
I’ll be 19 at the time I finally get my license.
My parents will not be adding me to their insurance, I have to pay for this on my own and I’d like to start putting some money away towards it so that I can make the payments with no problem later on.
Are their any other things I can do to lower the cost of my car insurance as well?
Maybe you could get a quote from insurers you get from yellow pages,. the internet, the TV, the radio.
The only way to a cheap insurance is to get a non powerrful 4 door old beater, pay cash for it and insure it on state minimum, keeping your deductible as high as you can.
I’m looking to get myself a car for one year as soon as i pass my test so i can get a no claims bonus. what car would be best to buy (used) what year (reliable or not too difficult to keep maintained by me alone.)
It needs to have a low monthly running cost and be almost guaranteed to survive without major (>150) parts replacement over the year.
and it needs to be in a low insurance group.
Pretty much anything would do you really. For low tax and insurance, try and stay under a 1.4l engine, if you can get a 1l, that would be even better. Any English model such as ford or vauxhall will be cheap to repair as you can get spares for these easily from your local scrap yard.
One thing I found, as a young driver- having a 4 door car as opposed to a 2 door car put my insurance down as it was considered more of a family car. Also, shop around for insurance, these online comparison sites are very good but I found going through my yellow pages and calling local unknown brokers got me cheaper quotes too.
Hope that helps, even a little.
