hi, can anyone recommend any good insurers for young drivers at all?
thanks in advance
-
I found Bell to be the best of the lot (really undercut their sister companies [elephant] [admiral])
Gti Ed 30 (20 years old, 2years ncb)
-
hwo much sweeney? im 24 4yncb
-
Haha well.. note i didnt say cheap just best of the lot :P
Took their bonus accelerator policy (10month cover plus almost all extra cover options) for 2200, if i was 3 years ncb it'd have been 1700-1800 im technically 3 years ncb now (May, took the policy out at the start of the year) but not sure if phoning them up would drop it any further.
Yes its still a bloody hefty amount of money but admiral and elephant were in the 3g's and everyone else 4/5g + lol
-
oh in that case, i only pay 1046 :) (3yncb on that) with tesco
-
I think my age and ncb didn't help matters too much, im still a pup after all! :grin:
Ill obviously shop around come renewal time as ill be 21 and have the 3 years ncb (3 and a half really :P)
-
i gve bell a ring and got quoted 4k. im 22 with 1 year ncb. thats crazy!!
-
I got my quote online... i find it quicker and better then phone up and haggle! lol
-
gonna try our forum insurance when it comes too it, they seem to want to help :)
-
Wow, just went on bell to see if theyd quote me cheaper and now its telling me they don't insure drivers under 21 :huh:
-

-
you mus live in a low crime rate postcode to get that quote of £296
-
Just checked, I could get mine down to £385 .......If I took all the bits of it and put it back to standard.
-
I just would not entertain over £1k for insurance :angry:
-
Oh the joys of being in the older stage in life, cheaper car insurance. Perhaps when im 40+ i should mod heavily and afford it!
-

Cheapest quote i got for a 310~bhp evo 8mr import (was going to buy brothers from him) was £13'000, and considering everyone else was 4/5 grand plus for the ed30 i found my cover to be easier to swallow lol
Didnt enjoy handing that amount over for a slip of paper mind you but has to be done

Surely you mean £1,300 ???
-
Hahaha no, you read correctly... well technically it was something daft like £13128 i rounded it down to 13g's. I had to laugh at the time, although i was a bit gutted as i love the motor with a passion, i love my golf in a different way of course, very different cars :wink:
Will just wait 5 years or so before i enter into the group20 insurance vehicles lol (god knows what the ved, fuel prices etc will be by then)
