I hear ya. I'm starting a policy in MY name though with dad as additional driver. Seems to work out cheaper and some companies state it reduces the price to do so.

Brentacre want £750 TPFT with a £350 excess. Just getting a quote with Adrian Flux now. I hope you can beat them Martin.

What are the drawbacks of TPFT? Having 0 years NCB stops me getting a good price with comprehensive cover.

Adrian Flux want £611.51 TPFT with a £200 excess but I'll need to become registered keeper to take out the policy. My dad is currently the registered keeper.

so far i have been insured with adrian flux for 3 years and had no problems with them.

insurance on a modified 8v gti (cosmetic and performance) is £340 tpft but i have 6 years no claims at 23. the premium has come down every year.

they seem to charge no extra when something else gets added to the modification list (except the usual "admin" charge)


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yeah, I look forward to having some NCB. Should bring costs down nicely.

When they ask how many years you've had your licence it's the time from passing the test not from first getting provisional licence isn't it? Pretty sure it is but just want to check.

Had hoped to have heard from Martin by now. :undecided: He's obviously a bit busy at work I guess.

Insurance all sorted now. £599 through Martin with mods declared. Thanks again mate, very helpful. It's a nice feeling having my own policy knowing I can build up some NCB.

Well chuffed. :smiley: :cool:
