This is ridiculous it's going to cost me best part of a grand to insure my gti when it comes and you could be insured for the best part of a decade for that!
Don't think you'll see that quote beaten.
How is it costing you that much?
At 20, I though my insurance would be pretty hefty. Admittedly, mine's a GTD, and the insurance was £620. I did try on a GTI as that was always a consideration, and it was only £50 more.
I got mine through compare the market with Elephant.
The big thing which got my insurance down was named drives. With just me, it was £1800. With me, my partner, and my two brothers, it came down to £700!
After then playing with a few other bits, it was cheaper to say I leave the car on the road instead of a garage.
It was cheaper to start the policy 30 days in advance, then call them when taking it out instead of buying online and get them to put the policy to the day you actually want. Doesn't change the price.
Try your profession out with different job titles as some shoot it right up. For me, a car salesmen was twice the price of a sales executive working in the motor trade.
And my variables are. I'm 20. Held licence 2.8 years. No NCB (due to being made up on a company car which somehow doesn't count??). I do however live in a safe Post Code.
