I used to be a motor insurance adviser (not any more thank god!) and found out  few interesting things.

1. 3pts dont make diddly squat difference. apart from if those 3 points take you to 12 points and get you banned....


2. It is cheaper to put your missus on the plan coz of it being a shared risk.

3. spoilers, sports exhausts and alloys make hardly if no difference to premium. chips, lowering and roll cages make a huge difference (as they think you're going to drive it a lot quicker - as if.....)

4.Even if you have a no fault claim your premium can go up as you have had an 'incident'.

The rules are general so dont shout if your experience was different!

I have just insured my Mk3 8v GTI with Barry Grainger Insurance brokers for ?410 fully comp. I'm 25 with 4yrs NCB and 1 non fault claim. That includes the mrs for no extra cost, but not protected NCB and the xs is ?250. Not bad though and a ?200 improvement on my renewal premium I got from elephant.co.uk. Worth a go!  ;D

Bloody hell!

Am I living on another planet or do insurance companies just not like my name?

I'm 20 (3NCB) with a standard 2.0 8v P reg and I enjoy paying ?740 third party fire and theft with Adrian Flux.

I think insurance companies think 20 year old + Gti = liability.

£460 py, 1 year NCB - 1st Central.  Without a doubt the cheapest, but have heard horrendous feedback on them.

I was with first central for about a year some time ago...not too bad and were pretty flexible on how you pay.

I am £380 with elephant. 24 with 5 NCD
