£5000 to insure a phase 1 Clio 1.2 at 17 !!!! Wow



  Clio 182
As been mentioned, put at least 2 experienced drivers on his policy as names drivers. Thanks to my dad and brother, my 182 insurance has dropped by just over £1500.

I had to pay 3500 on a Y reg fiesta flight for my first car a few years ago !

seems insurance has got even worse than it was when I was young, was paying £2600 3rd party on a 172 when I was 17, which at the time was crazy but now it doesn't seem too bad!!

No such thing as a 172 when I was young, lol

Mind you Tony probably paid 3 shillings a year for insuring a top of the range cart and a really fast horse.

I bought a £700 1.0 Litre 12v Corsa B when I was 17 (Im 20 now).

All in my name, family policy, mum and dad as named drivers. £900.00.
 
  1.2 16v
I paid 2200 last year, as it was my first year, with Aviva.

Just paid 1300 for my 2nd year with elephant.

Loads of people I know on elephant with clios etc, all paying about the same which is good.

was the Fiesta a 1.3? I can see why it was so much if it was. A mate had one and the thing flew. He had it when he was 18 and it would keep up with some seriously quick cars. Would top out at 130 But the acceleration was really Good :)

best way to get a good insurance quote is to limit number of miles and consider third party only Insurance if the car ain`t worth much. Third party is also good if you want to modify the car. Because your car is not covered they generally don`t charge anything for modifications. e.g lowering alloys engine mods.

my first year was with aviva, 2K cheaper than other on the comparison sites. + got some back after doing pass plus


+1 for Aviva. gave me my best online quote at £2000, then after about 20 minutes on the phone got that down to £1460 fully comp. So went with them for my first year which was in 2011, aged 17 on a Clio 1.2 Y reg. Although though the policy was in my dad's name with me and my mum as named drivers. Bit naughty I know, but if anything were to happen my story was that it was his car for getting to work and I used it when he had his works van. Good thing about Aviva was that named drivers earn their own no claims bonus. Hope that helps.

Hi Mate

You need to shop around some more, there are many insurers who will be able to offer a good introductory discount based on your (assume claim free) taxi driving experience..
 
When I was 18 I insured myself on a ph1 1.4 and cost me £3000, I forked out for it though.

TPFT, two women named drivers, etc etc. Lowest i could get it.
