Title: 17 & looking for cheapest insurance quotes!!
Post by: ShaneyBoyGTI on 08 November 2007, 21:54: Any one know any good insurers that are reasonable for for my age or around?

Im 17 and basically just looking for cheap insurance on my Mk2 1.8 golf gti 8v!!

Any other young drivers that are insured what who are you with and how much is it costing you?

Any help would be appreciated!!

That was using confused.com... others came out more.

Try confused.com, moneysupermarket, tesco etc - and also direct line as they don't use any of those - but also think about calling some other non-online companies too. When I was 18/19 my friends and I all had similar cars, same area etc - but a company that was cheap for one would be expensive for another - so just 'cos we got a good quote from one company they might be rubbish for you!

Oh yeah, but what ever company you go with expect to have your trousers pulled down with a Gti at 17!

Post by: AlanD on 12 November 2007, 11:59: You got 2 hopes of getting a decent quote on a GTi being 17.

When I first passed me test and had a 1.4 Clio I was with Bell, they where the cheapest.

Now with Kwik Fit.

Post by: krave on 17 November 2007, 21:24: as parker said, All about quin direct. Very Very cheap for young people, just to the point insurance, i found it any where up to Ã‚£2000 cheaper than other places. Infact i got a Ã‚£800 quote from there when i got quotes in the region of Ã‚£3000 in other places. I think they have policies of gti's tho, (dont qoute me on that)
