My 17yr old bro has just passed his test and is trying to get insured on his 1.1 MK1 Fiesta... Cheapest quote so far is circa £4,000.

Any1 know of any cheap young driver companies?

Ive tried all the usual go compare etc etc and afew young driver specialists off google. But nothing remotely reasonable!

 

reason why i can wait to pass mate :/

 

I'm in the same boat mate, cheapest quote i can get is about that

 

Its unreal, actually unbelievable...
There is no other reason for it, than they are greedy fuckers who want to take advantage of innocent road users.

 

If I remeber correctly, I got a quote off collingwood for my mk3 escort 1600 with a few 'mods' ( brakes, suspension & exhaust) declared.
Before i added the mods it was £1600 which i was happy with, after I declared the mods it dropped to £1400 fully comp

 

dont understand that one bit seems weird

 

Yep same boat to, except im 15k for a KA.

I found this site

They specialize in young drivers. You get a brand new car WITH cashback. The cashback is to go towards your premium. I got a quote the other week and my cashback was actually more than the premium so my insurance could have been paid outright, then i had to pay something like 280 a month for the car.

Its certainly not the ideal route to go down unless he has a steady stable job that he can rely on, but it is an option nonetheless. Newer cars are cheaper to insure for obvious reasons, so he may be best going down this route and getting a few no claims behind him.

Another option is Paul @ Need2Insure. Hes suggested quite a lot on here and insures the majority of the cars i think. I don't have a number but i'm sure somebody will be happy enough to post it. Just mention passionford sent you!

 

No, young people are a high risk group.

sure the majority of young people dont cause major accidents, however as a result of mongs causing millions and millions of pounds worth of damage in claims, ALL young people end up paying the bill.

Its the way insurance has always worked.

In the past there wasnt the compo culture either.

Remember the insurance companies arent making so much money on their investments either so they up premiums as well to offset losses in profit.

 

No males are high risk!!! Women will get a quote around 1/4 of what one of you will. My advise?

Go down the town hall and change your sex to female lol

 

Thats because Collingwood only insure cars provisionally, I had a right doing with that company, Best company ive found is Need2insure, Im 17 and have a 81 Mk1 Fiesta 1100L, Passed my test in Feb and ive paid £1704 Tpft with a 5000 mile limit, its robbery but still a hell of a lot cheaper than paying £4000 plus! 01623 720081-thats the number, cracking bunch of guys too!

 

When i passed at 19 i paid £1800 for a mk1 1.8 focus Thought i was getting robbed! That was about 3 and a half years ago! Also on my mum's insurance.

 

Gonna give these a try. Mines a mark 3 1.1 and insurance want 3 grand.
oh btw where at the same college always see your car parked there on mondays

 

haha nice one! It was there today enjoying the sun lol if you see me mate, come say hello

 

yeh i saw you get in it. My fiesta is off road at minute. so go in my mates clio, cant miss it, got orange wheels and mirros.

 

How the hell you getting 1700 for a quote? U got parents on your policy? Cheapest I got with my dad and brother on is 2500 but goes to 2800 if I pay monthly and that's tpft

 

i really feel for you youngsters today, im only 34 like cost me £600 for my first car a metro, that was through the roof!!!!!!!! i remember people at work going 600!!!! quid for insurance!!!!!..

 

I know it's a joke gonna have to try some specialist insurers today see if they can reduce it abit
