So, you’ve turned 17 and the key to the driving world is now in your hands. But where to start? Buying your first young driver car insurance policy can be expensive, which is a bit of a downer when you’re excited to get on the road and enjoy your freedom.
At ingenie we’re all about rewarding good drivers, whether you’re still learning or just recently passed.

Picking the right car can make a huge difference to your insurance price. There’s nothing worse than travelling miles to see a potential new car and falling in love, before you’ve even looked at how much it’s going to cost you in terms of young driver insurance.
It’s always best to run a few quotes through before you buy. You don’t even need to know the car registration number to get a young or learner driver insurance quote, just enter as many details as you can at ingenie.com to get an idea of what you could be paying.
Think about cars in low insurance groups too, as they’re not only cheaper to insure – they’re also likely to have low vehicle tax and could even be exempt.
No matter what stage of driving you’re at, learning never stops – even after you’ve got your full licence. So we’ll send you feedback on your driving to help you keep up the good work you’ve done with your instructor.
