I don't think the price you've received is that bad to be honest. I drive a 1.5dci megane and as main driver my insurance is just shy of £2,000 and I'm 22 had my licence for 4 years but only 1 NCB.
Have you had insurance breaks in the meantime then, or have you got claims against you?
I know it's not too bad a price, and for my age and experience it's to be expected but frankly I don't enjoy paying this much for insurance (although no one does).
I fail to see how a 26 year old bloke with less than two years driving experience in a 190 bhp rear wheel drive car with a terrible reputation could possible be considered a risk
I think I'm more miffed at the amount of work I had to put in to get it down this low, I had to do the round several times with various companies - and sky also went through pretty much the whole process before the bloke asked me when I passed my test, only to tell me they won't touch me until I've been driving two years.
My highly modified track car, now that I have moved, is £1,320 fully comp for 10k a year - for the same mileage adrian flux, who I have insured the track car through, want £1,380 for my daily with the same suspension dampers/springs installed.
The £1,015 is for 5k miles a year TPFT - I have 10k on the other motor so between them I should have enough miles to get me by so this is one option.
My other option is to SORN the car an then try to reinsure it again in September when I have had my licence two years.
What would you do?
