Title: Who to call?
Post by: Khare on 30 December 2009, 11:23: Right, renewal mid January and starting the hunting now.
19 yrs old.
2 years NCB.
2l 8v gti.
Car parked on street in a low crime area.
No offenses or convictions or any medical problems.

Cheapest quote so far is £1152 from ecar, which is the one I used for the past year. Go compare and compare the market says the cheapest found is around £1200-£1300.

Who can I call that will be under £1000 (hopefully). Waiting for a call back from Brentacre and Adrian flux, gonna give HIC a try.

Footman James won't insure me cos I'm under 21.

I didn't catch the full price cos as soon as she said TWO thousand I wowed myself.

Post by: Khare on 30 December 2009, 11:47: Adrian flux couldn't quote me, so they quoted me via a company called sabre I think. £2400 and something...again I am amazed. Some companies are SO uncompetitive. I said woah! cheapest one I've got so far is £1152 with ecar and he gave me nothing but sarcasm when he said "wow.....that's cheap....ok then, bye"

Impolite bastard!

Post by: DannyOOOOO on 30 December 2009, 12:42: you can give me a buzz mate @ HIC

don't want to promise anything coz we don't have a lot of schemes for under 21 year olds on the type of vehicle your looking to insure but we do have some, could be cheap or could be ridiculous like the £2000+ like your getting coz we are a part of Adrian Flux.

If you want to give us a try call us on 08448 884 888 and ask for Danny O

Post by: Khare on 30 December 2009, 13:10: I think I've found my insurers.

Brentacre. Quoted me £1183, only £21 more than ecar, but I am looking to pay monthly. The deposit is £297 then £99 for 10 months, totalling 1297 which works out cheaper than ecar's monthly payments. The bonus is that I can modify my car cosmetically however I want at no extra cost, with a BHP limit of 120, and I am allowed exhaust and air filter (which I already have :lipsrsealed:). He then said that if I wanted to modify my engine for power, or do an engine conversion, then they will simply raise that BHP limit at a cost. Sounds like a cracking deal to me tbh! Think it'll be the one I go for unless I can find something for under £1000.

My insurance renewal in August should be epic low then, I thought my insurance from the change last year was ace, from £1000 to £650 with everything declared like for like.

Post by: Khare on 30 December 2009, 13:31: well my quote is good, last year's quote was £1550, this year £1152 with the same company (ecar), that's just under £400 saving.

Post by: Adam on 30 December 2009, 14:16: When I first insured my GTi it was £800ish with Admiral, 1ncd, 19. Check Bell and Elephant.

Then mods sent it to £1200

Title: Re: Who to call?
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 30 December 2009, 16:17: Adam, when I first insured my GL it was with Kwik-Fit, cost me £1000, then when I bought the BBS to go on they took it up to £1400! I cancelled the policy after 6 months and restarted with Admiral who charged me £970 for the year with all the mods (at the time declared), sitting on £650 for the year right now with everything declared and adding many things at no extra cost (even HIDs :grin:) is just great.

Title: Re: Who to call?
Post by: AlanD on 09 February 2010, 17:23: Bad postcode or not that's insane price. My CR0 is a sh!t postcode. I only paid £200 more to insure my 2.0T and I'm quite a bit younger than you with less no claims. I would seriously shop about as I'm sure you can find cheaper than that.

Post by: joker6789 on 19 February 2010, 11:51: yeah try a cr4 postocode lol
Title: Re: Who to call?

Any ideas what sort of price i'll be looking at for a stock mk2 8v full comp?
