HELP PLEASE INSURANCE!!!
« on: 24 February 2012, 10:12 »
ok I know there's a seperate insurance section but nobody seems to have written anything in a couple years so looking for help here...

I'm 19 and have been driving 2 years as a named driver on my dads car, looking at buying a golf gt tdi 110 and have been quoted well over £3000 from basically everyone even Sky, Adrian Flux etc etc

can anybody help me find something not stupidly overpriced?!?!?!?!!?

many thanks

I suppose at 19 with 0 NYCB trying to insure a 1.9 turbo is always going to be expensive. Insurers really don't care about named driver experience.

My first golf was one of the 90bhp diesel things...makes me feel sick that I drove it but I got 2 years NCB out of it when I was 19...

Damn think I will look into the 90bhp golfs, that's the sdi isn't it? What differences apart from bhp are there between the 110 gt TDi and the 90bhp golfs? :cry:

if you been a named driver on a policy for 2 yrs most insurance companys take that into account and usually give you 2 yrs bonus.

And as soon as you build up some no claims it will come down a lot :wink: :cool:
