New Driver Insurance Question

[Noisy Crow]

Hey guys,

Question about insurance for new drivers: When do insurance companies start charging insurance for new drivers? G1? or G2?

Thanks!

[S.F.W.]

G2. When the person is able to drive on their own.

but if you have a G1 driving while your in the car you should/need to tell them you have a G1 just so they know but they wont get charge anything

I'm a bit conflicted. What SFW says sounds logical, however I remember when I was shopping for insurance as a new driver, apparently my parents declared me to be covered as a G1 driver - thus extending the period which I've already been covered under a valid insurance policy, by a year.

I have a question similar. When someone has G1, they need an experienced driver to sit beside them right?

Is that 4 years of just G? or can it count from 4 years from G1 or G2?

Thanks guys. I wanted a little info before I called my insurance company and then finding out that I'd opened a can of worms as soon as I talked about it.....

Ditto. From what I remember you don't HAVE to be listed as a G1 driver, but it's relatively cheap and gives you more history.
