I am a learner driver and have just purchased a 52 plate Clio Sport 172 Cup I am having trouble trying to find an insurer that will cover me as a learner. I am hoping to pass my test this side of Christmas but it would be nice to be insured before hand.
Thank you
Leah

Hi Leaah, and welcome to Yahoo! answers!
Now pleasantries over, I must get sarcastic...
Are you telling the truth, or just having a laugh, about buying that car? If you're joking, very funny. If not, then I must ask...
DID YOU FALL AND HIT YOUR HEAD? It's not gonna happen.
IF YOU THINK ANY INSURANCE COMPANY IS GOING TO GIVE YOU COVER, EVEN HAVING JUST PASSED YOUR TEST, ON A CLIO 172, YOU ARE VERY VERY VERY WRONG!!!! It would be cheaper to saddle up Brad Pitt, and ride him around.
I don't know if you have a very great deal of money, I suppose if you do, some company may quote you perhaps three times the value of the car. It's like this. Take lessons, maybe buying your first car, but make sure it's in the insurance groups 1 to 3, possibly as high as 5, but certainly not a car in probably group 17, 18 or even higher - and there are only 20 groups.
Learn to drive, pass test, reach 25 years of age, with at least five years no-claims discount, buy Clio 172, get quote, and then still biatch about how expensive the insurance is.
Right now, you can't drive. The car your insurers will want you in will have perhaps 45, or 50, or maybe 60 BHP (brake horse-power). The Clio '172' refers to 172 BHP. Such a high output in such a little car, means it is only for the very experienced driver, with a flawless record, and some track experience. (Someone like me) Anyone else stands an excellent chance of wrapping it around a lamp-post, because it got a little drizzly.
Sell the Clio, buy a 1.1 Clio, learn to drive.
Sorry to be blunt, but you learn to horse-ride on a good-natured, even tempered, slow, plodding mare. You don't get onto a barely-tamed swivel-eyed Derby favourite, do you?

you might be able to purchase 'storage insurance' until you can legally operate the vehicle. but i don't believe that there is any company foolish enough to insure an unlicensed driver.
you also might want to consider a vehicle that is cheaper to insure,

It relies upon on your age and automobile variety yet admiral are continuously good for a sensible quote and in case you have extra suitable than one automobile the multicar coverage is a competent money saver. additionally on extra present day vehicles continuously get a quote from the manufacturers own coverage I actual have Toyota coverage and that's rather good - all the extras as well-known. For the deepest touch decide for CIS (Coop coverage).

Try RAC insurance, they are very good. Remember cheap definately doesn't mean good, an insurance is only as good as their claims service!!
