Nod.E Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Oh dear lord. I actually have to pay this b*stard? I put in that I have a clio, as I've heard they're cheap to insure. The cheapest result is something ridicularse like £2200. - Being 17 is sh*t. - Not having rich parents is sh*t. So, anyway, what i'm really saying here is; Any donations? ... tight shits. Other than that, could anybody help me with cheap sites or tips to a cheaper car insurance? Thanks in advance, poor kid who wants to drive.
Granno Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 I got mine for 400 quid, but that was with mummy on the insurance.
Webbo Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 indeed. In that case I think we can safely say that you're fvcked.
dandannieldanok Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Norwich Union was the cheapest for me, but still upwards of £1000.
Nod.E Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 Tried Quinn Direct? No, any good? I got mine for 400 quid, but that was with mummy on the insurance. And you're 17? That's really good. Did you put her as the main driver? I tried this on a compare site and it didn't make it any cheaper. In that case I think we can safely say that you're fvcked. ha, it seems so. I don't understand, though. I've not been convicted, or anything!
Granno Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 And you're 17? That's really good. Did you put her as the main driver? I tried this on a compare site and it didn't make it any cheaper. 19 but yeah, her as main driver.
Samilktray Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 No, any good? I was looking at quotes earlier for a Polo, on my own policy and they were around 1k cheaper than the next cheapest. £844 I think it was they quoted me.

Edmund Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 More Than was by far the cheapest I found when looking around.

Red Leicester Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Other than that, could anybody help meThanks in advance, poor kid who wants to drive.
Nod.E Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 Tried Quinn Direct? £4458.68 I must be doing something wrong, surely?
Nod.E Posted 28 May 2009 Author Posted 28 May 2009 S'who I'm with. 'Please tell us your Date of Birth. If you are under 18 or over 79, we cannot offer you MORE TH>N Car Insurance' <_<
Bryn Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Quinn Direct are a good shout, Endsleigh aren't terrible either.
dandannieldanok Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Churchill are supposed to be one of the most competitive for new drivers.
Granno Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 'Please tell us your Date of Birth. If you are under 18 or over 79, we cannot offer you MORE TH>N Car Insurance' <_< Unlucky kiddo.
Edmund Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 Tesco's is also good for newer drivers They do a Tesco value version as well just means higher excess less royalties. The reason why some insurers are giving you high quotes is because each insurance broker will favour certain fields. Just do a few quick comparasent on moneysupermarket/comparethemeerkat simples Then also look around at the ones that aern't on comparasent sites. If you do find your cheapest quote on a comparasent site just cut out the middle man and go to the site direct works out cheaper in the past for me. Be prepared to spend the next hour monotonously typing the same information over and over and over etc
Vacamion Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 The reason it costs so much for young drivers is that you don't see that many 49 year olds slamming their souped-up hot hatch into a tree at 3am, because they were busy skinning up for their 6 pals in the back. If you are willing to restrict your hours, undergo a curfew, pay more for night driving, etc, there are a few Insurers who will give you a discount.
Tommeh Posted 28 May 2009 Posted 28 May 2009 My 1st one was £800 on a Polo group 3. This year on a car with group 8 insurance was £710. Get a parent to insure the car and you become a named driver. It's the ONLY way to keep it cheap.

It's the ONLY way to keep it cheap. If you are only a named driver but in reality you are the main user of a vehicle, and you have an accident, the insurers are within their rights to void the policy for misrepresentation of the risk, leaviing you to pick up the bill. If they even get a sniff that someone is driving on a "fronted" policy, they instruct investigators and will try to kick out the claim. so you know...

Risk I'll happily take, my current car would have been over £2k insurance otherwise.

Be prepared to spend the next hour monotonously typing the same information over and over and over etc I'm getting pissed off now. Moneysupermarket gave me £3370.20. I must be putting something that isn't accurate? Does it make a difference that I'm saying that I want a 2001 Clio? I heard clio's are cheap to insure, but this seems more expensive, if anything. I feel like crying and running around in a circle. Thanks for the help, though. I don't know why I can't find anything cheap.
