£1600 for a 98 Punto S, help pelase..

[James07]

So as title, anyone know any really good insurers?

This is what ive got so far:



HELP!!

 

[Hxc]

Fully comp or TPFT?

 

[Sone]

when i first started quinn and admiral group were by far the cheapest. 2 very low risk anmed drivers really lower it with admiral. Elephant were the cheapest at the time for me by about a 10 quid.

I was with ecar last year and had no problems, website is good if you are thinking of changing cars as i changed twice during my policy and it cost me nothing!

TPFT

 

[CliffyBiro]

Tried Direct Line?


Do Quinn Direct cover England?

 

[BigglesPiP]

TPFT

Try fully comp, it's sometimes cheaper. Also a lot of insurers don't do TPFT, and one of them may be cheaper for you.

Eech. That's bad mate

Not sure what to reccomend. I'm still getting quotes of just under 1k for pretty much all "first car" type things for when I've passed (hopefully december!), and I'm 2 years younger than you...

Try the Admiral group, people like Bell.co.uk and the like, they don't quote me too well as a 17 year old but if the age is 18+ I get fantastic quotes.

Tried the money supermarket one yet? I always end up with cheaper quotes than confused on there. I think you'll still be looking at a good chunk over a grand though, my sister can't get quotes below £800 on my dads W reg punto, she's 21 and has been driving 3 years!

Tried the money supermarket one yet?

When I was last insurance hunting, one of the insurance companies patched me through to money supermarket. So gave it a try. They kept calling me back with really good quotes (2 I can remember were from "City" and "Prestige").

Definitely try adding someone like your mum to the policy - reduced mine by a few hundred.

This is true, but depends on the individuals i guess. Admiral dropped £850 off my quote for an S2000 by adding my mother! I am 24 though so that helps a little bit.

Elephant with parents (adding another dropped mine further)
Adrian Flux

 

[TheVoice]

Try Liverpool Victoria and Quinn, they've been fairly cheap. Moneysupermarket.com is definitely worth a try though, I got far cheaper quotes through that than I did on Confused.

I'm looking at £1,745 fully comp on a 2002 Astra SXi 1.6, and I'm 21. Painful stuff.

 

[suarve]

I found flux and privelege to be good when I was first insuring my first car.

£1,600 isn't that bad considering you've only just passed.

 

[James07]

£1,600 isn't that bad considering you've only just passed.

I didnt think so..

Ive put my mum down as second driver, lets see how this turns out..

EDIT: £2188.23 with the mother as second driver.

With Ecar though.. They are cheepest everywhere, ill probably take up the £1600 quote with them to be honest..

 

[InvaderGIR]

Wow you love spamming new threads today!

Have you tried moneysupermarket? Normally quite good, also try Direct Line, Bell, Norwich Union, Endsleigh (good for students normally), Admiral, Hastings.

There are plenty more out there as well.

It isn't implausible at all actually.

Must live in bad areas insurance wise then. I'm constantly quoted under 1k for fiestas, corsas (not a chance ), the mini, puntos, etc....

 

[whitecrook]

phone up the insurers. Confused is always mega-pricy for some reason.
