Insurance renewal is due in a couple of weeks, which is normally no issue ... but my insurers (Bell) have changed their policy and no longer cover you 3rd party on other vehicles unless you are OVER 25 ... and I'm a lowly 24yr old.

That is a serious kick in the balls as anyone who has it, knows how useful it is.

I'll have to go on the hunt, but I doubt anyone else offers such a facility as last time I checked, it was only Bell  :cry:

Yeah, they jacked the price up for adding it a while ago. It was £20 when i added it in April 2009, but by the end of May it was around £100 to add it on to the policy.

Some of our insurers offer it to 21yrs and above mate, just a matter of shopping around.

If you want a quote to see if we can do it for you email us GolfGTI@hertsinsurance.com with a few details and a contact number and we will see what we can do.

But they don't insure cars over 20yrs old! Looks like it will be Bell for another year and no driving other vehicles :(

I'm finding Admiral to be a bit cheaper than Bell at the moment :wink:
