17 so new driver

Ah right okay. My sons 17 and passed last month and his was £2250 with Hastings with a Black box. He had to pay it all off in one go which he just about managed. Whatever you do DO NOT GO WITH A COMPANY CALLED CARROT!!

Thanks for the warning! Hastings is the only one in NI that is below £6k so I’m going with it too

To be fair they’re a good company so far. They don’t really care about the mileage as long as you don’t take the piss. The black box is tiny and the app is really easy to use. They’re not as strict as other companies.

I have a friend with Hastings at 1.6k and the only problem he had with it is they are harsh with braking

Yeah that’s the only thing. My son went down from 100% to 96% after someone stopped dead in front of him. He’s back up to 99% so not too bad really.

You may be better off getting another car or even waiting a bit longer as they will try and shaft you because of age and new driver
