Helping young drivers become safer drivers
Should I buy a car for my child?
When it comes to getting on the road, one size doesn't fit all.
Your young driver having a car of their own will very much depend on your personal circumstances and affordability. If they’re going to be the main driver and driving the vehicle more than you, it might be worth looking into buying their own vehicle and insurance policy.
However, if they are going to be using it less frequently, are planning on taking a gap year, or they’re heading off to uni, it could be more cost effective to share the family car until they need a car of their own or have saved up for their first car. The great news is that Marmalade has a variety of cover options, whatever you choose.
- Black Box Insurance covers young drivers in their own car with no curfews!
- Named Young Driver Insurance enables them to earn their own No Claims Discount - with no risk to their parents' NCD!
- Learner Driver Insurance offers 30 to 240 days’ cover for learners to practise driving in a friend or family member’s car - with no risk to the vehicle owner’s NCD.
Our pick of 10 cars suitable for young drivers
Of course, when your child is setting off on their driving journey, sooner or later they're probably going to want a car of their own! This car needs to not break the bank, whether that’s the price to buy the car or maintain it! A big cost to factor in is how much it’s going to cost you to insure because, without insurance, they can’t legally drive it. Here are the models many young drivers consider for their first car:
- Peugeot 107
- Citroen C1
- Toyota Aygo
- Ford KA
- Fiat 500
- Vauxhall Corsa
- Volkswagen Polo
- Renault Clio
- Ford Fiesta
- Seat Ibiza
