Overhaulin' - Which insurance company?

Which insurance company?

I am 17 year old male in the UK. I have a Citroen Saxo 1.1L 3 door 2000 car. I bought the car for £800. It is not modified in any way and it is in a secure garage every night. Having my dad as the policyholder is not beneficial because although he has been driving for over 30 years, he has always had a company car and has never owned, and therefore never had insurance. I have looked everywhere for insurance and the cheapest is £3500, most quotes are over £4000 and around a third of the results are over £10000. This is 3rd part F+T and using sites such as Confused, Compare the Market etc. I also tried getting quotes direct from the company and it's no cheaper. If anything it's more expensive. Which companies should I try, and has anyone else been getting ridiculous quotes like this? Why are people telling me to go to Confused.com? Read the question!!! Thankyou those that did read the question. It's on a full UK license and I always say that the car is in a garage. Is it likely that the high prices are to do with my area? For those that know it I live in the far west of Newcastle.

That is obscene! Try Adrian Flux, Quinn direct or i-kube.co.uk Make sure you have limited mileage & they know the car is garaged. Your insurance will be astronomical if you're trying to insure a car on a provisional licence though. Yeah, I noticed the lack of reading too. Newcastle's your problem - very high risk. I don't suppose your mother / grandparents live somewhere a bit cheaper??
Try searching for insurance brokers who specialise in young drivers. Google something like car insurance young driver. Try a few variations of this. Stupid amount to pay!
