Adrian Flux

Depends on the E30 to start but Adrian Flux is one of the best for younger drivers because you are too young to get any classic car insurance on it I am affriad.

[magpie]

what model you got m8

[E30BeemerLad]

you generally need to try the brokers and insurers who specialise in "non-standard" risks, i.e young hooligans in RWD cars (which are probably slightly modifed).

So as already suggested, people like Adrian Flux, Greenlight, Herts Insurance Consultants, some of the direct insurers can be OK like Bell Direct and Elephant.

Top tip, make sure you put a parent on as a named driver, brings the premium down quite a bit.

Direct line bleive it or not they worked for me

[GrindCulture]

I'm 20 with no NCB and my M42 powered touring is £1400 ish TPFT. Insurance is a bastard when you're young But I've paid it all off now, so I have 4 months free of paying

[Alex]

im gettin quotes of £1200 with direct line for my 318IS when im 18, thats with my mum as named driver knocks about 200 quid off

[ImysE30]

Reminds me to get me some new quotes for mine, i'm paying nearly 3k

[Alex]

whats that with and how old

[ImysE30]

More Than, i'm 20

[Alex]

WOW what engine is in it

[ImysE30]

M20B20, i know. I'm 21 in a couple of months. It's my first car, passed my test 1 year ago

Sell your car and spend the money on fine living, seriously, £3k?

It'll be coz yours is a cab though, mine is double the cost of my 4dr (but not approaching that kind of scary figure, once again: )

[Alex]

M20B20, i know. I'm 21 in a couple of months. It's my first car, passed my test 1 year ago

still sounds alot, give direct line a go there good for us young uns with IS's

[ImysE30]

I know it's sky high, it's because it is a cab plus a 2ltr engine and i was only 19.

[Alex]

yer i looked at getting a 318i cabby but prices were nearly as much as a b25

[ImysE30]

Yeah that is the problem, with it being a cab it doubles the cost

[Felix79]

I pay £149 a year for my Alpina with Lancaster insurance.

[magpie]

25 is the magic age fella,,,, 2k insurance m8 i do sympathise,but i've never claimed or had someone claim against me in 23 yrs,,,i've been banned before though 3 times bugger so not spotless but nearly so in last 10 years,,,i hold a full bike license aswell

[Alex]

its a shame really, i wonder if the same goes for the baurs

[ImysE30]

Probably will be, my current insurance is up for renewal just before my 21st so hopefully will be cheaper by then, i hope

How you manage that then??????

[Cloud]

I still think the bit extra for the E30 is worth it, as you found out yourself recently, Alex. Back when I was using my 320i my insurance was £2200. For an MG Metro it was £1900 or so. £300 is a lot when like Dan you're only paying £150. But to us kids, it's only a little bit more.

I know it's sky high, it's because it is a cab plus a 2ltr engine and i was only 19.

I think you're mad! When I think what I could have done with a couple of grand and a shit car when I was 19!!! Fair play, you must really love your e30. Sorry to go on about it, just I spent years in putt putt clios building up no claims, and while that wasn't great, I got to 25 in the end and now my premiums are something like reasonable.

On topic, you simply just have to get quotes from every available source - ALL the comparison sites, ALL the direct insurers. It's time consuming and tedious, but it's the only way of ensuring you get the best price. There are so many variables - age, vehicle, location etc, that one man's meat is very often another man's poison. And, don't be tempted to get a policy in a parent's name with yourself as named driver - you simply get nothing other than a useless piece of paper for your hard-earned, it is the biggest false economy around. Adding a mature named driver is a very good idea, but ensure you get like for like quotes with and without - almost anything can affect a premium in both directions depending on the specific martket an insurer is targeting.

[town325i]

18 yoa and no no claims you will struggle to get any good quotes you will be looking at paying £2000 no matter what if your lucky enough to be able to be insured

[ImysE30]

I think you're mad! When I think what I could have done with a couple of grand and a shit car when I was 19!!!

Your going to think i'm even more crazy because next year i'm going to put a M30 in it

[Rav335uk]

you are crazy, how long have you been driving e30's imy, think you need to have a test drive in one first to let you have a feel of what your going to get
