i went through a similar sinario matey.
when i gained 2 yrs driving xp instead of 1.5 my insurance dropped from 1200 as second driver to 780 in my own name. hoping when my renewal comes through this year now im 21 with 3 yrs xp and hopefully a years no claims it will drop further

Its not just being 21, I presume you have another year of ncb now or one instead of none even ?
Who are you dealing with, is it a direct insurer or is the company different this year?

I'm looking forward to being 21, will hopefully have 4 years no claims by then too, touch wood
It didn't make that much of a difference for me unfortunately.
20 - £1550 TPFT
21 - £1400 Fully comp.
Still a nice reduction though considering Fully comp when I was 20 was well over £2200.
A word of advice to you all, avoid getting a CD10 on your licence

Technically it only dropped £150 since I was mad enough to have TPFT on my car for a year
It's such a relief to have fully comp again though.I must say that mine has been pretty good, my first year of driving was £1500 with a group 1 car. This year its £1000 with one crash and a group 7 car, however i did change insurers, had i stayed with the original one it would have gone up to £2200 
without the new car.

i take it none of you chaps are in northern ireland?? Its mad over here.. im 21 and still paying about £1300 for a 1.25 Fiesta Zetec - It was well over £2k when i started driving at 17.
It really is madness. A girl the same age and circumstances would easily get it for half the price

I've done my penance with car insurance back home
When I was 19 I had a 2001 VW Passat 1.9TDi. I had it insured with Quinn Direct TPFT for a rather shocking £3200. I was so happy to see my insurance cost half with a change of postcode to England
Bloody hell you must either live in the ghetto or have a lot of pointsagw_01 said:Yeah, come renewal I'll be paying under a grand for my insurance (finally) since turning 21 in October. That's HALF of what I'm paying now.
