Son’s about to start driving so we’ve just started looking at options for insurance. We have a big old estate that’s automatic so between myself, Mrs A and son, we’re thinking of getting a small Polo as a shared runaround. Something like a VW Polo, 1.2, year 2000. Is this a good option as cheapish to buy and we think cheapish to insure, and fairly safe/reliable? (Also could squeeze the 2 dogs in too).
I’ve been the main driver/insurance in my name (with full NCD) so my wife was last insured as a main driver 4 years ago so we think her NCD will have expired. Son is provisional now but hoping to pass promptly. We’ll probably all use the car fairly equally with c.4K miles per year (or at least that’s the plan!).
Any good options in terms of insurance – and who to have as the named owner?
