Cheapest on one of the moneysupermarket type sites was £3146 for my (just passed) 17 year old son driving a £2k Fiat Panda 1.1L. Quotes went up to over £7k.
With 1 years experience it came down to £1400.
No wonder there are so many uninsured drivers.
Large -that was similar for me when I was looking at a panda. It's crazy as I bought a 2l 306 turbo diesel and then insured it for a grand! I'm now getting some ebtter quotes although more than last year are better at about 600 with companies like first direct. Still got NFU to go but that's a phone call which I need to do at some point tonight.
Just gone with Mini Ins (who cover any car, not just Minis thankfully). Cheaper than what I paid last year with my incumbent More Than of 6-7 years! More Than wanted an extra 50% this year and would only drop a few% after haggling.
I feel lucky as my insurance only went up by 33% this year to £420 and that was because I changed for a 10 year old Skoda to a 6 year old Audi 2.0. 10 years ago I was paying twice that for a 900cc 10 year old Fiesta that couldn't do more than 70mph.
I have no idea how the younger people afford own a car these days.
Strange, mine's still about £450 a year, 22 and 3 years no claims. Must be the area, I can't remember the last time someone "did a crime" in our village.
It's frustrating, we're both 29 I have 6 years no claims and the other half has 1 years because she has only been driving a year. I'm getting quotes that are half decent now just need to commit to one and hope I don't have to go through the insurance! Losing my inclusive roadside assistance is the biggest pain though
If you are using confused meerkat.com beware of stupid compulsory excesses I got one quote which looked cheap but had a £1500 excess.
