cheap insurance for young drivers?

[charlie316]

I have a 316i touring and am currently insured on my mothers insurance . Being a strudent i have little money and the best quote i have had so far is about 950 quid with elephant.

I am going to try adrian flux tomorrow but does anyboy else have any suggestions?

[Theo]

Nationwide or Churchill, same thing really, Nationwide are a few quid cheaper.

Try morethan, they always seem to come up with great quotes for me. Im with Aidrian flux, try them.

[fuzzy]

adrian flux are useless ,quick to take your money not so quick to sort out a claim,based on my experiences of course

Tesco are excellent, i have just got a 318 is and am on my dads insurance and its Ԛ£700. i am 19 and a student! Definatly go online and get a quote. Good luck mate.

These threads are meaningless. There are far too many variables involved in the weird and wonderful world of insurance. The only way is to get stuck into the websites, or to spend half a day on the phone.

Gotta agree with Brian - everyone will get a different best quote from a different company - even if you had same car/age/area/ncb etc.

Only way to do it is get a copy of autotrader and settle down next to the phone for a day. Ring 'em all and you will normally find that one is far cheaper than all the others, for no reason at all!!

Well worth the effort in my experience!!

dont use confused there crap for young drivers.

i got cheaper quotes through the providers themselves

[charlie316]

The problem i have also is that ive got the car from jersey as my parents live there and there are the added benefits of no tax or mot needed!! . So it is hard to find an insurance company to cover me to drive the car over here aswell as in jersey. Im on my mums insurance at the minute with CIS and paying about 600 quid.

Does anybody know how much of an arse ache it is to get a car registered on uk plates? and how much it costs?

Or a company that will happily insure me to drive the car in the uk and in jersey.

I know its a lot to ask, hehe.

[Bob_S]

950 is a good price I cant see it getting much cheaper!

[charlie316]

No i suppsoe not. When i build up the botheredness to explain my jersey situation im gonna try adrian flux then make a deicision. I need the no claims, might have to sell the beemer.

[miniblob]

You should be able to get insurance from any uk company and get temporary cover for abroad, to bring the car home!! Shouldn't much extra!

[Zerotonine]

I always found confused to be ok at getting quotes could try quinn direct they tend to be good

[he30]

Try classic insurance, my 1990 325i sport was Ԛ£210, in my 30s mind

[charlie316]

What is the age limit for a classic? Mine is a 1993.

[jon_pure_british]

tescos

[he30]

13 years old or above so i'm told so you should just squeeze in.

[tobias]

so charlie how is the insurance search getting on???

[gurps_singh1]

i've found tesco's and directline to be pretty good give them a try.

[charlie316]

Well im in between ideas!! i need the no claims but i am still to find insurance i can afford on my own, so i will try looking at getting it on classic and if not it might have to go for somewthing smaller!!
