You're not going to get much cheaper than that given your age.
At your age it's going to be pretty impossible to get quotes any cheaper

This is why you buy a crappy car and insure it for a year, you get your no claims and stuff then a year or 2 later you get your nice car and you pay at least half or less than what you would've

When I got mine with them at 18 it only cost me £1,200 ! But I had to have a box and how they regulate the ratings for your driving is a joke !

Well it's not if you don't drive like an idiot. They are designed to make sure you drive safe. They are not going to give you a massive discount and let you drive like a knob 😂😂

Well you definitely haven't read the reviews online. They are one of the worst companies on the market.

Guarantee 99.9% of those reviews are from disgruntled idiots who drove like a maniac and didn't realise their premiums would shoot up.

Black Box insurance is perfect for anyone who is going to stick to the rules by the book, anything more than that and you'll find it's not worth it. It's morons who don't realise that's how it works that give the insurance a bad name.

I agree.
Try companies like aviva, churchill and direct like as well as they arent on comparison sites.
Check out all the comparison sites as well.
