Diamond is a girls best friend!

[Lacey]

Finally got my insurance sorted out for my 172... Diamond quoted me £1000.49 last night, but they rang me today and said could they try and better it, and got it down to £900, I'm v. happy with that!

I think £900 is pretty good for a 19 year old with a 2003 172, one claim at fault, only 1 years ncb, and who has been driving for 2 years 2 months!

And with my policy I get 30% off servicing prices at main dealers.

Go Diamond!

Thats disgusting tbh, I payed almost twice that at 19 with 2yrs ncb and no claims/convictions. All for having tits :dapprove:, suppose its cheaper when they only have to pay out for backing into lamposts etc :rasp:.

Insurance = Joke but lets not go there. Well done either way!

 

[Da]

Yeah, I thought sexism was outlawed... :dapprove:

 

[Beef-Mc]

Good price that.

Try the same quote put putting it down as male, then you'll see the meaning of sexism!

 

[bmh.01]

Just double it and then some with the 1ncb and claim. They should wear a mask.

 

[vdust182]

God that's cheap! Im paying 2k with 2yrs no claims.

 

[Lewis_Spurs]

insurance on anything when your young is ridiculous... i'm paying the same for a 1.2 so thats a pretty good price

 

[vdust182]

Im nearly 22 lol

 

[Aluco]

Im paying £2500 for a 1.2, under moms name as well, wot a bargain!!!! But at least i know i got everything covered in case of a crash.

It is. As far as i know diamond will quote blokes too.

If car is registered under your name, and insurance is registered under your mums name, you're not covered in the event of a crash.

You own the car, you need to be main driver on the insurance.

 

[J.A.Y]

Nah its all under moms name, so technically i don't own a car lol.

 

[Peperami]

But you're the main driver?

One sec... how on earth is it costing your mum £2500 to insure a clio 1.2?

At 20 it cost me less than £1200, mods declared...

 

[The Boosh!]

im 18, 1 y ncb. 3 points. paying 900 on a 1.2...

jay. you insurance company is owning you tbh.

its goin to cost me 1500 to insure a 182 when i turn 19

yeah i'm in the same situation and i'm only paying £900/1000? 2500 sounds ridiculous

Go Diamond!

Shocker! and you ladies demand equality! In insurance terms you are so much more equal than us men!....

does lowering increase the insurance a lot then?

 

[Lacey]

Read back through my previous posts on insurance matters, I have always said its disgusting how much more men have to pay. But its the way of the world, I can't change it.

 

[Vish]

That's a stonking price!

Best quote I've had is £950 FC for a 172 at 21, 3NCB, 3 points, 1 fault and 1 non fault accident.

Ferrari F355 for £2k fully comp doesn't really say good value for the 172 lol

 

[Sarah]

remember diamond was cheap for me when i was younger

not had insurance in my name for years as its in my fellas name

 

[makavelli]

my girlfriends quote with diamond was good, it was even better when i added myself as a named driver, brought it down another 150 notes

you can - by kindly volunteering to pay the same as men

That is a very good price you've got there, whether it sounds sexist or not, the bottom line is young men have more accidents, and are therefore higher risk.

IIRC, men and women have the same number of accidents, its just that men's accidents are at higher speeds and so more damage and higher costs to fix.

Threads like this make me feel 2 things, annoyed that women get lower insurance prices, then happy coz I got 5 years ncb now and so my insurance is cheap anyway

 

[Lacey]

Yeah, my crash was at about 15 mph... unfortunately I was in a 106 and it just crumpled. But I wouldn't have claimed if it weren't for the other person!

I'm 19 started driving this year, no declared mods etc. 1.2 8v Y reg. 3rd Party fire and theft was 1100, this is with pass plus, and this was cheaper than any other insurance company by about 300 quid!

Girls insurances are sexist. Does take the biscuit, but we must remember, girls don't crash as much as boys, they just cause the crashes!

I still think that stat is wrong though, my sister has been driving a year longer than me, and has crashed 6 times in a year. I have have crashed once into a fence when my suspension broke on my fiesta.

Are some blokes really that bad at driving???

same as - 9years no claims and zero points! £412 for a 197.

Vish - sorry, yeah i think you are right, its the cost of the accidents to fix, and the number of claims but yes i think its the fact blokes have bigger pile-ups.

Check this article about women car insurance (clearly written by a woman - i bet she's going through a bitter divorce!). http://www.heavens-above.com/financialinfo/insure/women_car_insurance.html

 

[Lacey]

I agree its sexist, can I just point out, but if it were the other way, you would all be taking advantage of it!

 

[alanc1000]

those sheilas wheels adverts make my blood boil.
