Car insurance for under 25 ?

[Maccy]

elephant, just under £400 with 3 years ncb. The Bell/elephant/Admiral group have always been cheapest.

Well ive had crappy quotes since ive had my car off the road (SORN) due to my knee op. 9 going on 10 months. Been looking as ive had the all clear to drive again but £500 was in the £300's before ...not happy!

Anyone have a clue why its gone UP so much?

Adrian Flux have insured me on my S2000 for a good price since I was 23.

Just out of interest, have you tried adding your parents as named drivers? That knocked a decent bit off my quote.

I'm with Elephant and they are the cheapest for me (22) on a 306 gti6

Have you tried swiftcover or ecar? I only paid £260 fully comp with ecar for my old mondeo v6 (at 23 years old.)

 

[Gornall]

Elephant for me, used them for 3 years and not another quote comes close year on year.

I'm 22.

Admiral for me. £1000 for a 325i at 21

Tesco for me with my Dad added to it, still a HUGE cost though being my first year but still, was cheaper than anything else I found.

Isn't the average insurance premium supposed to be 1000gbp per person in the Uk due to people purposely crashing cars ?

Is it me or does a 700gbp annum premium for a 24yr old male on a mk4 1.2l fiesta 3rd party seem a little high on a car only worth 1800gbp with 4yr nc ?

ps: sorry my pound symbol doesn't work on my keyboard so gbp means pounds sterling.

I reckon you'd find you won't get it much cheaper than that, but you could insure much higher performance cars for the same price..

I'm allowed in here now!

no your not. its VTEC noob. GTFO.

 

[Bennie-Mac]

Tesco for me, phone them for a quote though as they like to knock an extra 10% or so off over the online quote

 

[Dreadi]

admiral for me

 

[Spuderoony]

Elephant have been alright for me normally, but got it slightly cheaper from Noel Dazely this time round (£895). Car as per sig, 24, 3 NCB, DN3, teacher.

Not looking forward to officially hitting my mid 20s next summer, but I will welcome a nice chunky drop in the premium, for definite! Hoping for around £500, but hopefully I'll have changed car by then/around then, though.

 

[Kenai]

Admiral or Elephant are by far and away cheapest for me, quotes rarely varying more than £20 from one another.

 

[R3DBuLL]

Just renewed my insurace last night.

Elephant / Bell / Admiral (all the same) were the cheapest for me


Clio 172
23yrs
5yrs NCB
£409 Fully Comp

I've heard adding an older female as a named driver can bring the premiums down by quite a bit. Does anyone know if there any disadvantages to doing this? Would it negatively affect the named driver in anyway?
