Post by: sellers on 18 January 2006, 23:51: hows yours so cheap? iv got quotes of 1100quid from elephant for an 8v at 19, with one minor accidnet and one sp30

and it was 1600 for a 16v, thats with no NCB

Post by: omg its aj on 18 January 2006, 23:57: Sellers, if both your parents have high no claims bonus' add them as 2nd and 3rd named drivers it can drop you by a few hundred quid.
Title: Re: **Whats A Good Insurance Co??**
Post by: sellers on 19 January 2006, 00:02: yeah thats with my mum added

but on elephant it doesnt give u the option for NCB for a second driver

Title: Re: **Whats A Good Insurance Co??**
Post by: Mew on 19 January 2006, 01:27: From what i've found your not gonna get it any cheaper than that! I'm looking at around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£800 with bell (owned by admiral/elephant) on an 8v mk2 gti with 1 years ncb at 19, and about 12-1300 for a valver, both in my name with parents as named drivers. What did you say when you phoned up then to get it cheaper???

Stupid thing is, it will be Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£900tpf&t for my sister when she passes her test being 17 years old with no ncb (obviously!) on an 8v gti! Life ain't fair!!!

Post by: golf gti 16valve on 19 January 2006, 01:29: i didnt say anything,they just quoted me much cheaper,if you phone them personally,you will probably find that its much cheaper over the phone than on the net,
