Passed my test; now insurance...

Featured Replies

I've been looking around, £2250 with Directline. (fully comp)

Then theres I-Kube thing; they put a box in your car to check that you don't drive between 11pm and 6am - if you do drive between these times then they charge you £45.

But having this; they dropped my insurance to £1550...

£700!! :shock:

Additional bits for the I-kube thing:

12 months Fully Comprehensive Insurance

£400 policy excess

£60 windscreen excess

Courtesy Car

Legal Protection

Uninsured Loss Recovery

Valid No Claims Bonus at end of claim free year

£100 cash-back.

These prices seem about normal or mad?

Stick your details in confused, then have a ring round the best few quotes you get.

I wouldn't touch one of those tracker things, but that's mainly because I'm a big nocturnal driver.

I don't want too but its sooo much cheaper.

Tried confused.com but there kicking out higher prices than Direct line. :?

CIS are fairly decent for younger drivers. I agree with yeti, why would you want a box in your car?

I don't but to save £800...

go on parents insurance?

look at adrian flux they have been really good for me sinse i was 17 I'm 18 now nearly 19 and they did me a resonable quote, way less then what you say u been getting! phone as many companies as possible and work them off each other by saying u got a cheaper quote here and there and they most of the time will knock a lot off, (well thats what i did lol)

Nope. 15,000 miles a year I've got down which is plenty.

Wrong. :lol:

It makes me laugh when people assume this.

At the end of the day, am seventeen and an't got £2250 to spend insuring a £400 car.

So the fact a got this deal for like £1400, saved me alot of money.

sounds fair enough

you might wanna look at pass plus. I done this when i passed, many moons ago. It cost £75 and saved me something like 25% on a £1300 insurance policy- so paid for itself instantly!

have you tried Quinn insurance? when i was 17 and when a few of my friends were 17 they seemed to quote the best prices but that was 4 years back now, might be worth a try though? other thing is, your not really gonna do 15000 miles a year and even if you were to go over your 'designated mileage' i've never once heard of an insurance company asking for the actual mileage of the car.

p.s very well done on passing your test
