Bought a 2.0 mk4 on saturday
Bearing in mind I'm 19 and only got one years no claims...

It cost me 600 quid

Note to everyone:
Put your mum and dad/anyone with more than 3 years no claims on the insurance

on my own it was a grand. but putting my 'rents on as named drivers it lowered it by over a 3rd!!!
the insurance is still in my name though

thought I'd just give that bit of info if people are struggling with finding the est quote

also try elephant.co.uk
thats who I'm with

lol yeah that was pretty hard to read!  :laugh:

always worth trying both with and without parents on there because as you say with some companies it does bring the price down....but some give discount for "insured only driving"  :wink:

that does sound like a pretty good deal  :cool:, please tell me you didnt get sucked into having a 10 month "bonus accelerator" policy with elephant tho.... :huh:

So you want people to help you, yet you make it difficult for them.

Actually I think she doesn't need any help from us...more...giving us advice on what has benefitted her with her insurance.

She's helping us but making us work for it lol!  :shocked:

haha no thats fine, although all you needed to do was highlight it.

pink should be a more magenta colour
then it will add a girlie style to the writing ;-)


anyyyway- yes i didnt need help.. it was a guideline for any other younger drivers out there

it was cheaper to insure me on a golf than to insure me on a yucky 106 gti... which is only a 1.6 anyway.
insurance companies... confuse me!
