What are you paying to insure you GTI?

[pocketrocket786]

Directline
£500
20 (almost 21)
3 years no claims
Fully comp.

Have tried other places and have found no where as near as cheap.
Attually phoned sky insurance for a quote and I could literally hear his eyes pop out of his head when I told him how much I pay with direct line
.

Wow that is really cheap! Best Direct Line offered me was £900.

You will be surprised when you come round to renew, most people I have spoken too now who have just renewed are in the same boat.

Might see if putting the other half on as a second driver lowers the quote.............

[pocketrocket786]

OK added the other half and now got my quote down to £550 fully comp.
Up £100 from last year but given the current circumstances and that in general insurance premiums have gone up I'd say that quote is pretty decent.

Thanks verity, never really thought of adding anyone else on my insurance, but its done the trick.

[Verity]

Glad to be of assistance

This just goes to show how they bend you over.

The insurance game seems to be pick a number and hope they pay. A mate got a WRX brand new a few years ago 19 with 2 years NCB and was quoted 5k. He asked if he could pay it there and then and they said no, we can't actually insure you! WTF???

He was gonna pay 5k and they said no!

Try VW Insurance, it was tghe cheapest for me

Just got a quote with VW insurance, suprisingly cheap, £20 cheaper than my best quote.

I always add my Mother as additional driver & it makes it a lot cheaper as it spreads the risk & she's been driving 15+ yrs with no claims etc...

I have tried Admiral & bell - both not as cheap as Swift or VW, will try Directline & aviva later

[Mr Blobby]

Im paying £2000, Im 18 with 3 points for speeding :/ but with 1 years NCB
Im with admeral and its a 10 month contract but at the end i get 1 year NCB Sweeeeeeet...

[Verity]

was quoted 5k. He asked if he could pay it there and then and they said no, we can't actually insure you! WTF???

He was gonna pay 5k and they said no!

Very interesting! Often wondered if they would do that!
Especially the 11k quote for the ed30. Was tempted to phone up and accept just to see what the insurance attually said.

£500 is that in your own name though?

Mine is £700 with 4 years NCB, Clean license and on Third Party Fire & Theft (22 years old)

[Verity]

Honestly yep

Policy holder
Main (and only) driver

It helps being a girl.
My Insurance is always half of my boyfriends

I dunno if I get extra off for staying with them?
This is my second renewal with them. Locality discount maybe?

[6N2 GTI 00]

That is cheap to be fair, how old are you (if you dont mind me asking)
I think I might have to do so more haggling on my next renewal lol

[Verity]

20. 21 March

I don't do many miles a year, and I have have a secure private drive way.
But i think the main thing is I live in a really really low risk area so I think that helps massively

[6N2 GTI 00]

That's mental, your certainly getting one hell of a deal.
I live in a low risk area too, the only known criminals are sheep and farmers with eyes that meet in the middle

[chris meardon]

Its so cheap because Verity is female.

Unfortunatley us males have to pay over the odds for the youngsters that crash their 106's into signposts and think their lewis hamilton.

when i first insured my 6n2 at 19 with 2 year no claims i payed 1200 fully comp in my own name, then when i sold up and got the 9n3 gti i have just payed 1400 on admiral again with 3 years no claims 20 years old.

[6N2 GTI 00]

I wonder if people with sex changes get better deals, might be something to consider on renewal if its going to save money

[chris meardon]

Its a coincidence but i read in the paper it costs 60k yesterday. but you can claim it on NHS if you fancy it
