17 & looking for cheapest insurance quotes!!
« on: 08 November 2007, 21:54 »
Any one know any good insurers that are reasonable for for my age or around?

Im 17 and basically just looking for cheap insurance on my Mk2 1.8 golf gti 8v!!

Any other young drivers that are insured what who are you with and how much is it costing you?

Any help would be appreciated!!

my 1.6 driver will be £2261 next month and i was quoted £3000 for an 8v gti so you'd better get saving!

That was using confused.com... others came out more.

Best advice I can give would be shop around I'm afraid!

Try confused.com, moneysupermarket, tesco etc - and also direct line as they don't use any of those - but also think about calling some other non-online companies too.  When I was 18/19 my friends and I all had similar cars, same area etc - but a company that was cheap for one would be expensive for another - so just 'cos we got a good quote from one company they might be rubbish for you!

Oh yeah, but what ever company you go with expect to have your trousers pulled down with a Gti at 17!

Bell/elephant/admiral seem to be the best for young drivers on (relatively) high insurance grouped cars

mate, youve got no chance :grin:

i searched for 3 days solid as i saw a cheap valver in my area, if i could find a quote for under 3k for a gti, i would have a gti :laugh: expect to pay £5k+ easily...

sam :sad:

Not got a golf yet! did have a 1.6 driver plan to have another project car soon ;)

You got 2 hopes of getting a decent quote on a GTi being 17.

When I first passed me test and had a 1.4 Clio I was with Bell, they where the cheapest.

Now with Kwik Fit.
