BMW Z4: 17 year old insurance
Right, so I'm 17 years old, just passed my full UK car test & have 1 year no claims on my full UK motorcycle license.
I'm just wondering which insurance companies you'd recommend for a young driver for a Z4.
Any advice would be great.

Re: BMW Z4: 17 year old insurance
I'd call all of them.... and then play the best 2 off against each other. Make sure that you are comparing like with like though...
Direct Line were pretty good up to a point. I am now insured through Chris Knott. Having said that my Civic Type-R I got when I was 23 and my Zed was an early 26th Birthday present to myself! So not quite the same...
Adding your mum and/or dad to the policy should help, along with keeping the mileage as low as possible. Making sure it is garaged etc.... You can't do much about your postcode but making sure the person quoting is completely aware of how you store your car will help - Mine is parked on the driveway, by the house which is nearly 400yrs from anyone else. Explaining this helped a little and I would imagine that every little bit will help.
Good luck...

My insurance company 'Churchill' won't insure anyone under 30. This is also the case with my wife's which is 'Esure'. My wife is 28 and they agreed to put her on my policy because she has 8 yrs NCB.

Re: BMW Z4: 17 year old insurance
Praying my son doesn't read this post - he is forever badgering me about letting him near the zed; always tell him we can't get him insured....

Re: BMW Z4: 17 year old insurance
Depending on where you live and which model you'd like quotes could easily run into several £000's mostly as you have no experience driving a car and are very young.....

Forget Z4. Get yourself a small car like Polo or Corsa (<1.4-litre).
