UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,
Im after some insurance, need to renew my current insurance. The problem is, im nearly 19 and drive a MK5 Polo 1.9 SDI, so my quotes are not looking healthy.
Does anyone know of any insurance companies that are likely to give me a decent quote. Oh yeh I got 15" alloys on there aswell if they makes a difference.

Cheers

tat is pretty steep IMO... im the policy holder.

i pay £1100 TPFT on my own policy on my GT. im 17 no ncb but i do have pass plus which knocked a massssivvveee 48% off! car has alarm and imobiliser and **parked in a garage** they know about the exhaust and the leather..... oh how i love living in a category 0 crime area (i.e in the country!) although the local town is scum, they are scum who will actually work for a living!

yeah living in the countryside (low crime rate) reduces the premium...... so move away from town!

try premier 01207592222 they are a northeastern based small company but beat all my quotes by half the price when i first got my golf when i passed my test

or brentacre are reasonable....speak to john though ...01792650933...

you'll get discount with brentacre if your a member of club gti aswell

time to onelitre it!

diesels shuld actally be fairly cheap to insure.

i pay 1000 tpft with ensign (via trident) with 500 excess

i'm 22
car was broken into couple o years back
wrote a car off at 19, which wipes off pass plus
i do 15k (which i might start fibbing about)
mods declared
cat 1 alarm fitted

did an elephant quote for a polo gti 1033 on elephant, 1500 on tesco (haha 2000 from ensign randomly)

hmmm I remember the days of 4 figure insurance premiums !

Ive got a Polo Gti with 17" wheels, lowered, BMC Filter. all my mods are declared.

£600 Fully comp + Fully Protected

(I can claim twice in 3 yrs and STILL have Full no claims)

woohooo

But i have just turned 24 yrs old, (nov), so that obviously makes a difference.

Ill edit this later and add in who im actually insured with, not quite sure at the moment.

Calâ„¢

ye shop around..... ull b amazed at the price range/

sure like to know that insurance company aaron -- they always seem to attract extra premium when i look, even if just because of the higher physical displacement...

(yes - shop round and play the companies off each other, even if you cant bring yourself to be brutally ruthless anywhere else in life, make them work for that BIG lump of money you're going to give them - for, hopefully, no reason at all. you can knock lumps out of the figure with a hammer.)
