Car insurance for teenages is shocking

Topics

Aimee

Lil Aims boyfriend passed his driving test recently and was using his mum's little run around, he was down as a student and his dad insured him for 3 months and it was working out at about £15 a week which he could afford.

He needed to renew and instead of his dad saying he was a student he mentioned he was a footballer, the insurance went up to £3000 more than the car is worth, he's got a student card so he should be classed as a student, he's driving round in a womans little run around not a flashy car he may be a footballer but he's not playing for Man United etc

He now can't afford to drive

Saying he was a footballer would defo not help the premiums. You get slightly better rates saying you are an F1 driver!

He's on an apprenticeship for the local team with college day's included, I wouldn't put that down as a footballer but apparently insurers don't like sports people

You are correct. They are considered a bad risk add to that his age and he is in the worst place possible. My sister and brother in law both worked for different insurance companies a few years ago.

That's why I've told my daughter to wait a while before she starts learning
