[Tanya]

who the hecks that with?

Im 17 and insurance on my 1.1's only 400

[mike_w]

wrong section to post but its not really mate, people get quoted that much on a 1.1 it all depends on what area you live in and where the car is kept overnight check this site to see how good or bad your postcode area is

1st off, this should really be in the insurance section of the forum.

Does your fiesta have any modifications that you have told them about?

Insurance for 17 year olds is getting more and more expensive. The price is probably right, but you may be able to get a cheaper quote by shopping around.

[Baxta]

No i havnt modified it at all yet

[rsdaz]

bloody hell thats expensive, if i remember right i paid £1200 Fully Comp for a 1.1

[rs-tom]

shop around mate

[frstnic]

mate my 1.2 corsa @ 17 cost me nearly that much so your quote aint to bad, a good way to bring it down quit a bit is to put your mam on as a named driver on your policy as long as she has no motor covictions & been driving for a while ect should bring it down by about £500

i know the feeling with high insurance but mines my own fault refuse to own a standard smell engined car now

hope this helps also try elephan.co.uk there pretty good for insurance quotes .

[Oranoco]

It doesn't surprise me at all. My brother paid £1600 to insure a 1.2 Nova at 17 and that was with Pass Pluss. Was 7 years ago as well

[frstnic]

ohh yeah i had pass plus aswell. forgot to mention that

[Duxmaxer]

i payed over 1700 on my 14 year old polo 1.0 @17 on TPFT last year

[Tweek]

1400 for me on a 1.4 at 17, £1 for each CC almost

[azznoble]

I'm in the same boat mate, dont get quotes much cheaper on my 1.3 mk3. its a joke, im on mums insurance at 800 a year... no bonus though so its a ball ache for the long run. Everyone says 'shop around' ... waste of time i found. But you may have better luck

...doesn't help livin next door to the biggest council estate in europe My area's at 'Very High Risk' on postcode check... fookin wythenshaw!

[mike_w]

mate you can get no claims as named driver if you go with directline thats the only place i know who do that but probs a few others

[azznoble]

yeh you can... but it's not all good for most. often works out the same to just get ya own.

*edit* Retract that nonsence... just got a quote for 320 a year on mums insurance with direct line shall be ringin them in the mornin

[Oranoco]

IF you are the main driver of the vehical you cannot be a named driver on the policy. If you try to buck the system this way your parents are commiting the offence of insurance fronting.

Dunno but I aint complaining

[snakeyjake]

[Ollybee]

On a happier note I got my insurance company to knock a quarter off my renewal price today just by phoning up and complaining.

[1.3REP]

well i've just got in from picking up my 2i. n im 17 no convictions insurance is £1200 with quinn direct btw only had licence 1 month

[snakeyjake]

i got my 1.3 when i was 17 and it wasnt as much as that i was with tescos at the time.selling it if interested.Got my mk 6 fiesta now pay £960 i couldnt believe it. Good luck if still looking.

[Phoenix666]

i'm 23, 6years ncb and i have a 1.6Si

£480 fully comp,
guarented (sp*) protected ncb, hire car, and legal fees covered

that price was when i was 22 with 5years ncb so it will go down when i renew in febuary, hopefully to about £400

[lee si]

i pay 1200 on a fiesta si 1.6 16v,



and im 17

[Ollybee]

My first year was £1200 on a 1992 Fiesta 1100 L. That was eleven years ago and with a Pass Plus, for all the good it did.

[dontpannic]

I was £1404 on my 1.1 fiesta for the first year, then went down to £599 for the next year, halfway through upgraded that to fully comp on the new fez and its gone up to £900. Not bad really for a years no claims at 19...

jesus i must have been such a mug to accept £1500 Quote on my 1.1 fiesta when i first started driving.

[fezzRS]

u have to say all these 17 yr old [ERRR] the insurance is gonna be dead cheap but its not ur at risk even i n a 1.1 cus u r a new driver to the road and ppl who have modified there cars at 17 guearentteed will be paying even more insurance on a caR THAT is only worth 200 the insurance is a rip off beacause of the boy rqacers going round speeding increasing premiums for us and it aint fair on ppl who have to pay the price

[Minstral]

last yr when i was 17 on my 1.3 i gt £1040 directline as a named driver but get yr mum as the owner, u still a no claims. but after the second yr i had to have it in my name so switched to tesco and did it online and was the same price.
