Insurance quote *shocked*

[tiababy]

no matter what age you cant account for other drivers.

Thats because you're considered too young and inexperienced by insurers to drive a car like a 197.

And by me too, I was 19 once and made a few driving faux pas!

That's true, but insurance can be found for the 197 at that age, i had just turned 19 when i bought my R27. I had 1 claim to my name at my fault and i was only £700 for the year to insure it under my name.

Now i have 1 claim to my name (its due to come off) i have 5 years no claims and im £450 to renew my insurance this year. £500 with my extras.

Im also still trying to figure out how i have 5 years ncb and 1 claim and im only 22..:huh:

Sounds like I'm paying over the odds!

33yrs old 9 yrs NCB, no accidents, no claims, 3 points, cars garaged over night, partner is on the policy and my car was registered in March - I paid ~ £700.

However, that does include 17k miles pa, European cover, windscreen yadda yadda.

True, but not the point. Lehan seemed surprised that his insurance would be £3k on a 197 aged 19. Pretty obvious IMO.

i know someone who is now 20, but was touring car racing at 19 too, and he'd run circles around everyone on the forum behind the wheel of a car

Explaining the fact you're a touring car driver (professional driver) will INCREASE the risk assumed by insurance companies, thus making your premiums more expensive.

Regardless of how good a driver you might / might not be, below 25 insurance is going to be costly on a 'sports' car, FACT!

Something can't be right with your price surely. You pay less than me, and no points / claims, 27, 8 years ncb. I smell a rat.

What postcode area do you live in?

If you read my OP you will see im now paying £370 and im 23, so it can be done you just need to get lucky.

it's on company insurance anyway (latest v8 m3) so it doesn't matter a toss to him. and i wasn't arguing that him being a driver, and an excellent one, would make it cheaper, i was arguing that he is a better driver on that all of us. as is clearly obvious in my reply. as i do not mention his insurance once.

I live in post code AB42 2YQ, one of the safest post codes in my area and its also garaged over night. No rat here just a kick ass insurance quote :biggrin:

[tiababy]

the code IN10 is an offence with something to do with insurance isn't it?

that might have something to do with it.
