question to insurance companies

[tttommm]

the situation.........


im 17 taking my test tomorrow then pass plus in a few weeks my insurance quotes drop by roughly 600-700 on the day i turn 18 (2 n a half months time) but really i want to be on the road asap. so if i were to get a low insurance group car in a few weeks time eg 1.0 corsa (will cost me about 1900 a year 180 a month ish) which is about how much a 2.0 bora will cost me when i turn 18 which i plan on getting


so if i get the bora and ring up to update will they update it as me being 18 and give me the quote around 2000 or will they quote me like 2700 because i was 17 when i started the policy? does any1 know for sure

I would expect them to still charge the higher rate as it will be based on the age you where when you took the policy (otherwise insurers would be ringing everyone up when they had a birthday mid way through the policy to give them money back  ).

Good luck with your test!
