Post by **alexperkins** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 7:47 pm

Hi all,

Its that time of year again and im stuck!

With the car about to have alloys and suspension fitted, i now face the difficulty of being nearly 18 with a modified car.

Ive called a load of insurers today and they wont touch me.

Who can I call

All help appreciated

As we advised Bryony the other day, give Brentacre a call on 01792 650 933

They wont touch me - you have to be 19 to be anywhere close to getting insured

try ecar insurance, it came out Â£400 cheaper than quinn-direct, which was the cheapest on confused.com, although I havent declared my mod's yet...and i'm a bit worried about doing so to be honest!

Well tesco have said its gonna go up to Â£900 with my excess to Â£500 so just another Â£100 on top which isnt too bad i guess. Bring on older years!!!!

I will have a look tho

You'll be even more worried if (touch wood your dont) have an accident and realise your insurance is invalid.

The joys of being an old fart, at least insurance is reasonable !

Good luck getting it sorted Alex, hopefully they won't remove an arm and a leg for the privilege !
