[fraggie]

they wonder why people drive uninsured with prices like 1335 as my CHEAPEST Quote and thats just for 9 Months

and thats on a 1300 :| the most expensive quote was over 4 grand!

bear in mine this is TPFT!!!!

I dispare i really do

[gobbo]

You tried Norwich Union?

[Barakka]

Unfortunately that's the price you pay if it's anything more than a 1.0 Fester/Corsa/Ka etc.

My first insurance was £1400 TPFT on a 1.4 - and that was over 10 years ago !

[Trash Man]

Gice Tescos a try

That's very high Barakka. My first car was a 1.8L serria, and that cost me £680 to insure, that was 8 years ago.

We have finished submitting your quote details to all the major insurance companies online and the cheapest price we've found for you is £1802.99.

Click http://************ to see all the prices and other details we've found in a range of £1802.99 to £5107.20

Fed up of being f**ked over by money swindling barstewards who think careful student drivers can afford this silly money, the car is 55BHP ffs, its not a skyline

Is that Third party fire and theft (i am sure it is)? Also did u select a high excess and low annual mileage? I am assuming you wont do more than 10k in a year, or if you are sure you could limit it even further.

Might be cheaper to be insured on a parents policy, but you wont be earning any no claims.

Situation is quite bad i am afraid Oh and i paid 670 when i was 22 and on a smaller size car/engine with pass plus.

[dkmech]

Just remembered something. Once you got a couple quotes try phoning the cheapest ones against each other. Tell second cheapest that you got a cheaper quite elsewhere and they may drop a bit. Then phone the previously cheaper people. Keep pushing em. I had endsleigh and motaquote slug it out for about an hour, they would actually call me I think i took at least 50 quid off in the end, might've been 60. With higher quotes you may drop more. Also endsleigh are partially owned by the student union and they do better deals for students (not sure if you are one).

Good luck.

[fraggie]

that is TPFT with 500 voluntary excess (max) and 7k miles a year (which i dont think is high) im on parents policy at the mo but am gunna have to change soon, i know the situation is bad, its bloomin rediculous

ill see what i can do bout the 2nd tip tho cheers, ill be a student in august

Have your tried elephant.co.uk ?

[[GSV]Trig]

elephant, hmmm, I had a strange dealing with them, they wanted to insure me on a Lotus Carlton for £1400 a year (3.6Lt Twin Turbo, 370Bhp RWD) but wouldnt insure me on a Cav Turbo (2Ltr Turbo, 204Bhp, 4wd) strange people....
