Coming up to Insurance renewal time, so thought I'd have a little scout about and see what I'll be looking at...

Just cant believe the range of quotes that came back from a comparison site...

Best was approx £550 for the year, from Privilege fully comp

Marks and Spencers quoted.....£1773.91... WTF is that all about???

Just makes me wonder how one company can quote a pretty low price and other be so much more!! Bonkers! :quiet:

£550 seems a lot tho, I mean, you're preety old now aint you :rasp: Thought 25 was the big magic number for insurance?

Its a balance between insuring drivers for lots of money with more chance of claims, and insuring drivers for less money with less claims.

Is why insurance companies alter their prices to target different types of drivers.

So you know if you are going to have an accident then?

Premiums are premiums, some companies are robbing b******s and some arent, you cant balance according to fate.

Fully body kit, 17inch wheels, window tints and powerflow exhaust :D

1760 was the cheapest i could find to, almost sold my car as most of my quotes where around 3K and Adrianflux wanted over 4K third party.

But atleast i have windscreen cover with quinn.... lol

yeah, windscreen cover is a total must have, almost worth the 1760 for that alone.

Far be it for me to preach, but....

Why dont the young folk of today; given the insurance prices and general running costs of a car, just stick with a diesel shitbox for a year or so, just to build up some no-claims d..............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


Jesus I was boring myself then.

I can thnk of better thing to be spending over 150 quid a month on thats all. lol

Personal preference mate. I never modded my car, but I paid higher insurance than I should have cos of points and an accident. But a car is worth it, esp to young drivers as its such a new thing.

Same thing to say why spend £5000 on a excellent home cinema set up when you can buy a very good set up for around £1800 and spend the rest on a holiday etc? Its all up to what is more important to the individual.

When I was doing some quotes, I noticed the longer I had owned the car, the lower the quote was. Never thought about that before, but makes sense.

Quote from money supermarket.com


"Why do young drivers face higher car insurance premiums?
Unfortunately, young drivers pay the price for the reputation of their peers. Research shows that every day Britain's roads witness four fatalities or serious injuries as a result of accidents involving young people. It is estimated that the country's 18-year-olds alone cause 50 collisions a day - that's more than three times as many as drivers in their 50s.
Young males have been tarnished with the boy-racer image and they pay the highest premiums. An 18-year old male living in Manchester and driving an X-reg Peugeot 206 would pay £1,550 a year more for comprehensive cover than an 18-year old female, living at the same address, driving the same car.
Cars driven by young people are also more prone to theft and vandalism as crime rates are higher among their age group. University towns and cities generally report higher crime rates than other towns and rural areas. As a result students pay the price of having a car while at university, as do other young drivers who live in or around student areas.
Insurers calculate premiums on perceived risk - the higher the risk, the higher the premium - and the bad news for young drivers is that the odds are stacked against them. Insurers measure risks in different ways however, so it's important to shop around as premiums will vary."

It's worth mentioning to your insurance company come renewal time that your car is now one year older and thus further depreciated... A car that's worth less than a year ago is surely going to have a cheaper premium this time around.

In keeping with the thread though - I'm 23, zero NCB as this is my first policy, 2001 172 PH2, fully comp (obviously!) and paying £627.

http://www.bell.co.uk/ are your friends! That price is with the legal cover, so even less really. It's worth mentioning (rather oddly) that my quote got cheaper online when I said the car was on my drive way rather than my garage and I added my dear mother as an ADDITIONAL driver.

Slightly confusing there.

Good things do not come to those who wait to insure a micra. Good things come to those who wait to insure a 172. Ergo, drive the nuts off the 1.2 untill your 20 and have another think about your 172!

Christ, I was driving a MK1 1.2 8v fiat punto at 17! Be pleased with what you've got son.
