MCook Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am 19 tomorrow and determined to get my zed insured TOMORROW. I have been playing about with quotes, if I set the 'what date in the next 30 days would you like your policy to start?' option to be the 17th (my birthday) the price is 1800.. If I set the start date to be 30 days time it is 1400............ What is life.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Put as 2040 and you'll save even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) It could be pure economics, if someone wants something urgently they are likely to pay more for it? Or it could be a demographic thing, the kind of person who doesn't plan in advance could be seen as a risk taker? (that wasn't meant to be taken personally though) Edited July 16, 2014 by Randy_Baton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Just be happy you can get insured at 19 with 1 year under your belt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Because if its tomorrow you need it and if its in 30 days time your only going to buy if the price is right.... Go through confused and put 30 days in the future, if the admiral group comes in at the top choose that quote. When you go through to actually purchase the cover you can change the date/time at the end and it does not regenerate the quote. Saves me £50-100 a year.

Paddy78 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Always put the start date to 30 days. I've never seen a site which doesn't let you change the date when purchasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid £1400 fully comp at 19, on my birthday. Could not be happier, stayed out till 11pm driving for 3 hours, then the storms started. An absolute joy to drive. Had my GoPro set up recording it all, managed to scare some chavs that pulled out on me at a round-a-bout, (full revs in neutral... ) and also saw 2 other zeds, a gunmetal and a clean black 350, both of which ignored me! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
