Title: Car insurance help please for a new driver
Post by: Hiccup on 19 March 2012, 15:12
Hi All!

Does anyone know of any good brokers? or insurers that aren't on comparision websites. My boyfriend is looking at getting a little Polo, either 1.2 or 1.4 and it'd be his first year driving so quotes are coming in about £1200/£1400. I used Adrian Flux for my bug and they were brilliant. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

Hiccup  :tongue:

first year drive then them price r not to bad. when i started driving 9 year ago i was paying around the same price. he will just have to put up with them for a couple of year. just ring about everyone as they r all diff but he might get one for a round 1000 if he looks hard.  :smiley: gd luck

 i would have loved for my insurance to be that cheep. in my first year i was looking at 2500+ on anything 1.2, 2800+on anything 1.4

even now after 2 and a half years im paying a grand for insurance (granted it is on a gti, but even so even on 1.4s and 1.6s im still looking at 700 per year)

when i looked i spent a whole weekend, litterally a whole weekend, doing quotes on different cars. i used up almost 600 minuits of my contract that weekend which works out at almost 10 hours ringing different insurance companies, not to mention all the different quotes i did online, cheepest i got was on a renault clio 1.0 which was somewere around 2400iirc . most expensive i got was 3k on a mk4 golf gti n/a. so decided ide spend the extra 600 on insurance, and ended up saving 500 on the car after knoking the price down a bit ect.

There is an insurance section within this site.

How about having a look there and maybe give one of the forum sponsors a try while you're at it?

Them prices seem pretty good to me.
My first year the cheapest I could find was £3000 on a 1.3 starlet. At first I could only get 3400 ish but after a lot of ringing around it was still 3000  :undecided:

You just gotta put up with it for the first year the insurance nowadays is rediculous, the second year it pretty much halved.

No.  Sorry.

Yep, they do it all wrong, like a kid with his first erection, just can't wait, want that one, then find out it costs more to insure.
