Who are u all with? im only 17 and want to get insurance on my name, as now im on my mums, but im getting quotes for up £4000!!!

all i can say is, get quotes of as many people as you possibly can, i normally have a day off work to sort mine out cos i tend to find that a lot of places will quote similar amounts, with the odd stupidly high one and then (normally one cos i tend to take it then) a good one.

when i was 18, i had to pay about £1700 for TPFT on a fiesta. but it only comes down after that.

I have found Admiral Elephant or Diamond have been pretty cheap for me but I dunno coz your younger my 1st insurance when I was about that age was with a company called Express but was for a 1.4 Renault Clio my Mazda with mods cost about 410 I think thats with me and mitch im 21 hes 23 and ive only been driving a year but have 3 years no claims

Im 17 and am driving a 1.8 under my mums name, costing me 1100. Best quote i could get for me as main driver was 2200 with directline but didnt have that much cash. if i get through this year without hitting someone then i could insure it next year for 1700 but ill prob stay on my mums name for another few years

You should start with a lower engine with your own insurance then you will build up no claims bonus then when you have a few years of no claims and driving experience get a faster car will be cheaper to insure.

I got a quote for an Vauxhall Astra Turbo when im 26 with me and mitch itll only be 384 so im waiting til im about that age and looking for a much faster car!! Even though I had a dream last night we sold mitchs car and bought me a Skyline!!

hey lee-anne - you got it lucky your female :P (think diamond only insure women :S )

good luck getting cheap insurance on a 1.8 at the age of 17!!!!!! even a 1.5 will be very very high

Im not sure if the still only do they used to be really expensive well for me anyway but I think they have joined with Elephant and Admiral now so they are all roughly the same

Yeah I think insurance for a 1.5 Mazda will be expensive enough at that age!

Put you Ma and Da as second named drivers and watch your quote go down.

[color=blue]Sort of online search thingy for price guides could be of help: [/color][url]http://www.moneysupermarket.com/[/url][color=blue] used that to decrease my insurance by £70 this year, still gotta change it actually, only couple weeks to go.
Just to upset you youngsters...[/color] [color=blue]this year for my 24valve fully comp will cost me £250, but then again, it is because I'm 33, and have 15 years no claims [/color] [color=blue]
My first car (white Ford Escort 1100cc estate-you may laugh, estate, but very handy if you ain't got a bed!!)(wink, wink, nudge nudge lol!!) [/color] [color=blue]was over £300 TPF & T when I was 18........[/color]

Mine is 1000 fully comp, was 18 when i took out the policy, with 1year NCB. 700 next year! woo!

i keep getting stupid quotes i dont wanna loose my pride and joy, but i need to build my no claims

Snoop-who are you with?

I've got a 1.5 GXI and after what left like forever getting quotes, i went with tesco £1,600 a year. but now i've got a years no claims it's shot down to £1,000, although it is as a named driver.
There's always a way.

Sky Insurance or Adrain Flux are the way forward if modded or going to be modded.

i paid over a grand tpft as a 20 year old on a 1.5 with no claims. its harsh at first

Im with Directline. what im doing is staying on my mums name till im about 21 then hopeing my premium will have dropped and i can insure it as me as main. wish ide never got this car cause the insurance is a killer but i only payed 800 for it so i couldnt resist
