dan4 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Who do the young drivers on here use for insurance? Im getting a little bored of the over 25 limit, especially suprised at Sky who wont quote yet happily took a grand off me for the Supra at 500bhp and now offer me back 200quid after barely 6months! Best quote i got so far is 1000 fully comp which i still think is steep, its hardly a high risk car Quote
Ian Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Bell.co.uk I've insured mine with them since I was 22 Quote

dan4 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 admiral/elephant 900 fully comp, still not great but at least its a quote unlike both "club" insurer Quote
lilsheepshagga_turbo Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 u tried adding like an older more sensible driver as your second driver?? my mom knocks a kanny bit off for me.. worth a punt?!? Quote
CK@Chris Knott Insurance Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Just too many claims, Dan, for under 25's. The insurers can't sustain the losses. Quote
dan4 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Just too many claims, Dan, for under 25's. The insurers can't sustain the losses. but i have 6years NCB 3 of which on a heavily tuned supra and 2 of which on a tuned GT4, surely it counts for something. Im penalised for others mistakes And surely im less of a risk in a Z or something similar than with over 500hp under my right foot. People who specialise in this sort of car should in my opinion be competitive at least, but no normal companies that people like my parents use will happily insure me instead! Quote
dan4 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 u tried adding like an older more sensible driver as your second driver?? my mom knocks a kanny bit off for me.. worth a punt?!? will be adding the girlie which normally takes a bit off but its more of a "hun can you drive me home i want to get spasticated and make a fool of you" Quote
Husky Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 its all just numbers to them im afraid your theres not much they can do. 900 quid for under 25 seems a common thing, and as mentioned, put your mum on or anyone you can think of it makes it cheaper. Quote
Vik54 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Admiral came good for me - I am older but at moment have zero NCB, 3 points and three claims in last two years. Whats most wounding is that two claims are down as fault claims 'cos I had to settle 50/50 with elderly drivers and the other claim was someone backing their tow bar into me and driving off Chris Knott wouldn't even quote me as no 'performance' experience!

Stew Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I stuck with admiral this year for both my cars as I added my girlfriend to the policy. She was 23 today so too young to be quoted by the sponsors. It's a shame but I'll live! Quote
dan4 Posted July 26, 2009 Author Posted July 26, 2009 Trouble is that if im paying that much id like to have something that justifies it in speed Oh well il keep shopping around for now, cheers for advice Quote
mylesmcg Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 least you guys don't live in northern ireland. i got my z 3 weeks ago and my insurance is £1475. i'm 25 and have 4 years no claims Quote

rtbiscuit Posted July 26, 2009 Posted July 26, 2009 its an age thing regardless of what power you have under your foot, its people under 25 that are most likely to go out in a ball of flames, be it with 1000bhp or 50 bhp when under 25's tend to crash regardless of your NCB's they tend to go for it big style. not putting a downer on your driving skills but the general under 25's as a group. like with anyone you have good drivers and you have bad ones. regardless of car power or time driving.

dan4 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 Sky changed their minds when i attemtped to cancel my policy and will now swap the insurance onto a Z Quote
chr15g Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Best quote i have had whilest looking for my Zed is from my current insurer, Bell. I'm 24, 0 points (but have had 6 in the last 5 years) 2 claims (just onto my 2nd) so 0 NCB, and managed to get £768 (CHEAPER THAN MY BLOODY ASTRA!!!!) Quote
UNABASHED Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 most 'specialist' places were over £1000 for me (26, 3 NCB, 1 non fault accident 3 or 4 years ago), got a quote from Admiral now for £815 Quote
lamby Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 im 22 5NCB and insured by Admiral for 730GBP Quote
Vale Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Hi i'm 38 and just got my first Zed, i have full NCB 75% no claims and Esure took £381 off me full comp with our lass on there too. Nice price but i am on oldy compared to you young-uns Quote
