So in that time what has bloody changed in the world of insurance Im eager to find out.

Anybody know ?

 

It gone up for loads of people mate.

 

Try adding a 2 or 3 "mature" (old farts) on to the policy as named drivers, this often brings it down considerably.

 

It is stupid thats what it is, now my escort van that I was going to use was 1700 comp its now at 2146 Its going to be a challenge to manage to insure it.
Thats one of the main reason why its taken me so long to do my licence is insurance has been un affordable, so me thinking now that im 25 it shouldnt be too bad, how wrong I am

 

@ Staffy owner, its not possible for me to do so pal otherwise id be right on it Im going to do a quote of a ka car now.

Do you mind if i ask why you can't? I'm not doubting you but just curious as to why you can't put some wrinklies (by wrinklies i mean anyone over 40 like me lol) on the policy.

 

My father inlaw doesnt believe in it I have asked him although im pretty sure if i present him with the evidence with me on my own and the price and with him as a named driver with the price he could change his mind.

But he would say pass your test blah blah, these old people eh

 

Bollocks to your father in law, it's not him who's got to find the cash. Put someone else on then, parents, uncle, aunt, it doesn't even have to be a family member it could be a friend or work colleague.
Good luck with trying to get a cheaper quote though.
