Post by: wellfan on 06 May 2005, 20:26: I paid Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£98 TPFT last year (www.peopleschoice.co.uk), however, I am a 'forty something' and live in the middle of nowhere. Renewal just arrived for this year and its gone up to Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£126 for this year. I'll be shopping around to try and get it cheaper.

Post by: wellfan on 06 May 2005, 20:31: Forgot to mention, also try www.confused.com they are like an online broker, you input your details once and they are sent to a load of insurers and the quotes are sent to your e-mail address.

Post by: bigpoppa81 on 06 May 2005, 20:52: i went with elephant Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£700 tpft 23 No NCB with 17's,lowered, exhaust etc
biggest thing that dropped the price for me was adding my mam as a secondary driver- it too about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£200 off!

Post by: mjamoose on 09 May 2005, 23:16: My car's a 1.6 MK2 Golf Driver, I'm 22 and this is my first car,
Haven't passed my test yet but the best quote I've managed to get was Quinn Direct, a Northern Ireland Based Broker who also insure in the mainland UK.
They quoted me Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£773 for TPFT, considering I've got a 0 NCB and no experience this is pretty fcuking good. The worst for me was the AA, they wanted 2000 for TPFT!

Then my lil brother, 19, bless him, He's got an M Reg Ford Escort 1.4 and his best quote was from Tesco, Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£1600 Third Party Fire & Theft!
I'm glad I waited till I'd passed 21!

Post by: Volkswagavin on 11 May 2005, 12:46: Adrian Flux I'm with - great for modified cars. I'm paying Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£750 a year with one years no claims and living in a really crappy area! I was also under 25 when I took the policy out.
