The worst one has to be swiftcover, I had a customer come in, estimate, insured by swift cover, i sent them an estimate and they came back to me telling me they will be paying me £21p/h to repair this vehicle lol !

needless to say - the car went elswhere.

so they robbed the insured for his premium and wanted to rob the bodyshop to repair it
As for 17yr olds paying £1-2k etc.

Worth considering that when I started driving over 20 years ago, my first insurance on a 1.0 Mini cost £1350.

In that context, some premiums today seem cheap.
