Insurance Problems

[S20 CUP]

Anyone have good suggestions of insurance companies to try for CUP insurance? im 20 no no-claims and have been driving for nearly 3 years as a named driver on fathers policy! Help needed! New toforum so apologise if this has been asked a million times!

 

[paulk]

welcome s20 cup

cheers paul

 

[Fred@BTM]

im in the same position, accept im lacking the money for the cup plus 172s/cups are a bit slow for me anyway!!!!

 

[Neil82]

Have you bought the Cup yet? Did you not get a quote before hand?

Try HIC,

01279 719932 & ask for Phil.

Theyll cover most of the big names!

Herts insurance co. (HIC) - Im not sure about them as they dont give written quotes, only verbal ones, but they are supposed to be well cheap as well as offering track day cover in the price. [edit: damn, beaten to it! ^^]

Adrian Flux - dont even go there...

Greenlight - have heard pretty good things about them

AA/RAC - hahahahahahahahahaha *thud* (that was me laughing my b*llocks off! )

The one with the laughing dog (durrr...) - suprisingly cheap for the ex on her valver! try them!

Hope theyre of some use. All opinions are purely my own so try them to make your own mind up.

Also try admiral and elephant.

Im 21 and getting quotes just the right side of £2k with no noclaims on a 172.

Trying to get a letter from work stating i drive company vehicles and have done for ~4years though. Only problem being, i just had an accident with a stupid woman driver on the M602 last week so ive gotta sort that out first.

Otherwise its just pay the right side of £2k

Oh yer, ive got 3 points for speeding on the motorway - SP50

[wackojacko]

humm good luck!!!!

LOL im 20 1 years no claims and managed to get bout 2k quotes off TESCOS and ADRIAN FLUX.

Basically everyone else laughed, hell even the "rude boy" on the phone from tesco was laughing till i gave him my card details.

 

[richie_jones]

I really admire all you youngies havin the balls to stump up so much money for insurance, i know i did, first car was escort rs turbo payed 3300 for car and 2500 for insurance,,,well worth it.

Its better to pay the price now for your no claims bonus than stayin on your parents as a named driver and gettin naff all...

And when the next "rude boy" from tescos has a giggle down the phone ask him if he could afford it with his job!!!!

 

[wackojacko]

Anyway i do 100miles a day so its nice to do those miles a little quicker

This was with Elephant you can get a quote online http://www.elephant.co.ukwww.elephant.co.uk also Bell Direct were not far off try them http://www.belldirect.co.ukwww.belldirect.co.uk

I was a name driver for 3 years i went with BHP sound dodgey but they got me insured through Eagle Red Star and when i had the accident they were really good also gave me discount due to the fact i had been a named driver for so long there number is 0870 7576969 Worth a try.

[rayboyd]

im thinin of gettin a cup soon and got a quote off http://www.privilege.co.ukwww.privilege.co.uk , 21, 4 years NCB, no crashes or owt - £660 fully comp. direct line were only bout a tenner behind that an all!!

 

[abbs_172]

Im 25 with 1 years no caims and it costs me £1300 sheets which isnt too bad as my excess is 250!

 

[cupgti]

Iv just been quoted 1179.15 from privilege for a cup, im 25 and have 7 years NCB

 

[admob]

FAO S20CUP, 20 with no no claims, 2k for a year is just not worth it, its a great car, but its no ferrarri!! bite the bullet and get a couple of years NCB behind you, unless of course youre minted!!

FAO CUPGTi im 31 with 7 yrs NCB for a new 172, 515pounds fully comp with Direct Line....

 

[cupgti]

I pay around 850 at the moment on a 206 GTi thats with Direct line, they have quoted me 1008 on the cup.

 

[simonjones10]

Im 23 with 2yrs no claims I pay £990 with elephant.

little hint, I put my dads bint on the policy as a named driver (50+, no crashes or points) and they knocked about £400 off!! (Even tho she isnt ever gonna drive it!)

Most places simply said not till your 30 sonny!

 

[Jon1978]

Im 25, with 7years ncb, and I am paying £600 full comp on the Cup.

When I had my first car with no no claims bonus at all, I paid £1500 tpft on an £800 car... which was a bit pants.

Then sense came over me and I bought a 1.2 with a years free insurance.

Something people who havent bought such a car do not know is that they give you bonus years on the no claims if you make no claims in your year of free insurance... making it very worthwhile.

Now, finally I can afford a sports car, and afford to insure it.

If you are utterly convinced you want to go for the Cup, I would imagine you will be paying MINIMUM of £1500 insurance.


Im with Renault. Found Elephant competitive.
