NINJA TURTLES ARE REAL.
I just recently passed my test, i am 19 and i bought a black Fiat Punto 1.2 Mia today so i've been looking for insurance so i can pick it up on Friday and drive it home. All the quotes i am getting are around 2k to 2.5k for a year fully comp. Is this right? The guy told me it would be around 800 to 1.3k :/

What am i doing wrong?
 
Nah im getting very very similar quotes to you (identical car, test drive and hopefully buy tomorrow evening) and after a lot of shopping around the lowest I could get it for was with tescos.

My best quote so far is £1833, it was something like 2.5k but thats with 20% off for doing pass plus.

Out of intrest, have you test driven the car? what do you think of it?

Cheers

Edit: Probably should have mentioned: 17 year old male living in liverpool, passed about 4 weeks ago.

Paid £1200 @ 19 with no NCB to insure a 2.0 16v Mondeo. You can do better unless you live in Manchester or something.

Try Admiral, add your parents as named drivers.
 
Which companies have you tried so far?

How much is the car worth? Is Fully comp really necessary?

Generally companies like Tesco, CIS, Elephant do well for younger drivers.

Have you thought about trying adding one or both parents on as a named driver?
 
do not pay that... robbery!!! shop around and shop around more and then a bit more... it paid out for me... 17, 0ncb on a 1.25 16v fez was 980 TPFT, and bout 1200 FC...

try virgin, barclays, quin direct or endsleigh... i went with barclays

just keep quoting...


edit: forgot something... most of the quotes were like yours 2k-2.5k for fully comp, sometimes even for TPFT!!!!

That sounds more like it. Although, check all the small print the quote you get online isn't always a full quote as they don't initially ask you questions like annual mileage etc.
