Car insurance help please for a new driver
« on: 19 March 2012, 15:12 »
Hi All!

Does anyone know of any good brokers? or insurers that aren't on comparision websites. My boyfriend is looking at getting a little Polo, either 1.2 or 1.4 and it'd be his first year driving so quotes are coming in about £1200/£1400. I used Adrian Flux for my bug and they were brilliant. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

Hiccup  :tongue:

first year drive then them price r not to bad. when i started driving 9 year ago i was paying around the same price. he will just have to put up with them for a couple of year. just ring about everyone as they r all diff but he might get one for a round 1000 if he looks hard.  :smiley: gd luck

 i would have loved for my insurance to be that cheep. in my first year i was looking at 2500+ on anything 1.2, 2800+on anything 1.4

even now after 2 and a half years im paying a grand for insurance (granted it is on a gti, but even so even on 1.4s and 1.6s im still looking at 700 per year)

when i looked i spent a whole weekend, litterally a whole weekend, doing quotes on different cars. i used up almost 600 minuits of my contract that weekend which works out at almost 10 hours ringing different insurance companies, not to mention all the different quotes i did online, cheepest i got was on a renault clio 1.0 which was somewere around 2400iirc . most expensive i got was 3k on a mk4 golf gti n/a. so decided ide spend the extra 600 on insurance, and ended up saving 500 on the car after knoking the price down a bit ect.
