What is the craic with all the different variations to be able to bring the price down. It's just dumb. It's nearly as bad as the power suppliers variations for gas/elec and online billing, paid monthly on a supersaver with the first x amount of units at higher price.

This country needs to regulate these barstewards better and enforce simple clear policies for people. They throw that many options you could take a week "finding" the best deal. The amount of hidden things you may not need on the policy (breakdown/legal assist/courtesy car) are all things that add to your price.

We live in a just in case society  :lipsrsealed:

My first years insurance when I was 17 was 3000 which about the cheapest you can get it for your first year nowadays and that was on a 1.3 Toyota starlet, puttin older males on doesn't make much differnece try and add women I had and still do have my mum and my brothers fiancée on my polish and it makes it a goo £400+ cheaper

Insurance also really depends on what you're after. I'm 23 with 2 years no claims. Insured with Sky Insurance and covers all my mods like for like (unlike places like Admiral who will only replace mods with manufacturer spec).

I pay just over £1K mind.

Definitely try other comparison sites, because there can and WILL be huge differences in price. To get my learner wife on my current policy is impossible (she is 29), any other way bumps it up significantly - but it has to be done.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Go direct with reputable companies, my wife's lupo is her first car, she is 26, no Ncb, engine conversion (doubled horsepower) updated brakes, coilovers alloys and agreed insurance value, £670 a year I'm on as a named driver an I added £26 to the policy with my 4 years Ncb, go figure her insurance is £32 cheaper than mine! It makes no sense at all, trying to get my 17 year old brother a quote less than £1700 on a 1300 mk2  at the moment but go direct to companies like sky, HIc, admiral and such always bestest!! Good luck, that seems to be working for us anyhow

With my insurance my sister brings it down for some reason. I put my mum and dad on there and they have clean licences plenty of years experince etc and they bring it down a couple of hundred, but when I put my 24 year old sister who has only had a licence 2 years longer than me brings it down by a grand. Strange :-\
