Price of car insurance for new drivers

The price of insurance for new drivers is ridiculous. I have been on various comparison sites (uswitch, compare the market, confused.com etc) and cannot get a quote for less then around £3600 unless I have a black box, which makes it much more affordable bringing it down to around £2000. However I am not keen to have a black box in my car as I have heard that they can negatively effect your driving habits (people care more about not getting penalised than paying attention to the road). I knew that having a black box brings down premiums it is looking like having a black box is the only way I am going to be able to afford to insure myself for at least the first year. It's not as if the cars I am looking to insure are expensive/flashy as they are all 1.2 or less and worth less than £1000. Not sure if I have made a mistake in the questions or something but the quotes are pretty similar across all the comparison sites.

The price of insurance for new drivers is very low. I have been on various comparison sites (go compare, compare the meerkat, confused.bum etc) and cannot get a quote for less then around £20 unless I have a pink box, which makes it much more affordable bringing it down to around £2. However I am not keen to have a black box in my car as I have heard that they can positively effect your driving habits (people care more about not getting caught chewing than paying attention to the apple in their hand). I knew that having a black box brings down premiums it is looking like having a black box is the only way I am going to be able to touch myself for at least the first year. It's not as if the cars I am looking to insure are small/dull as they are all 6.2 or more and worth more than £80,000. I'm sure I have made a mistake in the questions or something but the quotes are pretty different across all the gambling sites.

Is.. is this supposed to be funny?

What's sort of options did you specify? What's the car? How old is it? It's probably too cheap.

Ive found that the newer the car, the cheaper the insurance. But it depends on how new a car you can afford i suppose.
Check different levels of cover- surprisingly fully comp can sometimes work out to be cheaper than third party fire and theft.
And have you put anyone (such as parents etc) as named drivers?

Yes, I agree that the value of the car is rather low, and that tends to increase your premium. All the other parts of the quote are correct - you've not selected 'commercial travelling/Class 3 Business use' by mistake have you? Can you put a named driver with more experience on your policy to bring the premium down a bit?

In my head, if the car was not worth as much then I maybe the insurance would be less because if I were to crash or anything it would not cost as much to fix or would just immediately have it written off. But as that isnt the case i will look at some newer cars and get some quotes for those. thanks.

Altogether I am looking to spend around £3500 on getting myself on my first car and insurance. My Dad recently passed away who would have been my name driver as he had about 40 years of driving experience but the only people I could have now are my brother or sister, and im not sure if either of them have been driving long enough to bring the insurance down at all. I dont suppose you know how long someone has to have been driving before they would reduce the insurance considerably for me?
