Insurance for existing drivers isn't cheap either!!
I'm 24 want to insure my 2008 1.2 Corsa and no-one will cover me.... :s
OOOOPS.....
I've had 2 accidents in the last 5 years, 1 in Nov 06, no my fault at all, didn't even pay excess, 2nd one was my fault, total claim was for £13,685 (my car was a write off and the other 2 cars involved we fixed for that £13,685)
Oh! and I've got 3 points....
Back to the drawing board on the insurance front I think..

well, fortunately I didn't find a suitable car yet as I've found out that QUINN direct, who quoted very low compared to all others, put the insurance up once the driver gets a licence.
I've googled this a bit and I suppose it sort of makes sense in that while he is learning and has a provisional licence, he is always under supervision, but when he gets his licence he is on his own with not alot of experience and also as a teen driver, likely to get into all sorts.
so a £500 quote at provision level becomes a £1500+ policy once he is licenced!
here we go again getting more quotes...!

I'm 20 and have been driving for almost 3 years now.
I have always been om my dads insurance as I couldn't afford the ridiculous prices for my own policy.
However it needs renewing in a few weeks and I want to start building up sme no-claims.
I have found Bell Car insurance by far the cheapest at just under £700 for my own policy. I have added my mum as a named driver which saves over £100!

£1,500 is still cheap for a 17 year old IMHO! That is weird Bell is part of the Admiral group and they quote over £600, yet Admiral quote under £450 for me, strange stuff.

wow england doesn't trust it's younger drivers does it?
i think i paid $300 a year on my 2ltr gemini on my P's
Kids are getting V8's and still not paying the equivalent of 2000 pounds a year, you guys are getting ripped off big time.

Oh, we know, trust me. Not to mention we pay twice as much for petrol (or "gas") as you do
Insurance here is a legal requirement anyway, correct me if I'm wrong but for the most part its not over there is it?
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |
