The best quote we could get for my 18 year old son on a 1.0 picanto was £3,500.
My son thought this was ridiculous.
I told him look at the facts. When he inevitably crashes it into another car with his three mates in it you have three whiplashes in his car @ £2,500 each, the two in the car he hits, another £5,000, Two damaged or written off cars , £5,000 to £15,000.
However this is dwarfed by the hire car and claims are us solicitors fees ( @£240 per hour!!!) adding another £10,000 to £15,000.
Total claim probably in excess of £35,000. This is fact as I have a friend who is just such a solicitor.
I told my son I wouldn't insure him for £50,000 let alone £3,500!!!!
" thats still ridiculous, I'm not going to crash" I love him dearly, but.............
