Hello all,

I've been shopping around for some insurance quotes to try and see what engine size I can realistically afford. I've been driving now for a little over 9 months - but I've only ever been a named driver.

So far I've had quotes from £1366 to £4000 on a rotten £400 1.1LX for example. Is this usual for somebody of my age (19)? Or am I being ripped off and looking in the wrong places - if so where should I be looking?

Thanks in advance,

- Leon

ive been looking around the cheapest i got for a 1.1 is £756
i just went on confused.com and moneysupermarket.com
does all the searching for ya

[Leon]

Confused.com was quoting me £1500+
That's with maximum excess, no disqualifications, no (recorded) accidents.

Edit: Only filled out some forms 10 minutes ago - clicked the box saying Please don't contact me and just had a phonecall from a nice guy called Brett offering me a pass plus course for £100!

I'm paying £1200 with Quinn direct for a 1.1 Sapphire. Cheapest i could find. I'm 18 and it's my first year driving. Just gotta bite the bullet i'm afraid.

Next year is looking alrite though, Just under £900 for a 1.6 Si. a few other car i'm thinking of which will reamin unnamed

So that's a better car and a £300 insurance discount. Can't wait! (just have to save up to buy the better car now...)

[Leon]

Ah that's poo! I wanna go back to being on mummy's policy!

[Tanya]

Probably because you're a bird, and "birds are far better drivers".

[Tanya]

thats one thing i dont get...lads insurance is always more expensive when i think it should be the other way round women are dangerous

[Leon]

Haha, you said it.

'Kin hell, it wasn't that much when I was 18. There's me thinking £1500 was bad for a 24 year old on an ST

or

http://www.quinn-direct.com

the first one was the cheapest and they gave you 2 years ncb instead of 1 at the end

[diablosvy]

Do pass plus and you get a 30% discount with Norwich Union.
Mine was 1140 TPFT @ 18 on a 1.4si

id say thats alot, i insured my rs1800 at 20 with no no claims for £1200 and my 5 gtt is £1500

[livinitup]

norwich might not take any mods though i've heard. confused aren't great for young drivers, do what I did, get the yellow pages, and spend a day or two phoning everyone. I managed to get mine from 2200 down to £1450, try Quinn Direct, Fantastic for mods too, only count engine mods as an insurance raise.

[minston2]

my insurance last year @ 17 was £1600 on a 1.1 with Norwich Union, i declared alloys and body kit, also i had pass plus, but the said the mods cancle the pass plus out so it was back to tyhe origonal price.

this year i went with quinn-direct £668 1yrs NCB.

I went on confused.com and they said Quinn-direct was £900, but when I phoned em it was £668.

So phone em directly cos I reckon confused must take a bit!!

[livinitup]

yeah its s**t!

[JohnBoy_DIY]

£1896.00 was the cheepest i could find in my 2nd year of driveing after loozin ma licence in a 1.1

[mk3dean]

[Priezti]

Im on direct line. My car is a 1999 (Mk4) 1.25 zetec fez.

Always tricky with a 16v I guess. They wanted £2100! Luckily my mum is on direct line too so they gave me a discount for 'other family member using us' kinda thing so I paid £1800.

Next renewal is due in January, after 1 year of driving with no claim = £973.

Places like admiral and those that compare others are just crap ive found.

I might shop around this time though as I dont think il get a discount this year from parents being on direct line. Plus direct line dont cover modified cars if your under 21yrs old.

new car insurance for the golf mk4 tdi is 610 tpft and im only 20.

i got a 1.3 Lx costing me £1300 (just under), I went with http://www.quinn-direct.com
I think it's one of the cheapest, I'm 18 under Named Driver thrid party fire & theft .
Full comp is prbs somewhere near £2000-2500 someone of my age so i'll just stick to third party etc.

[bbl]

some of those seem a bit steep. i got a mk4 fez 1.3 16v hatchback and i managed to get that for 1300 fully comp without adding my pass plus! lol

[wakeboardtom]
