Hello and welcome to TheMiniForum

Having pass plus is a bonus but you will find as you are a new driver that insurance will be expensive for a fast mini.

What size engine is your fiat and what size engine are you aiming for in a mini?

Enjoy the site :cool:

[benfredjosh]

well i wasnt thinking anything stupid something like a mini 1000? or there abouts my fiat was a 1.1 8v 64bhp by the time i finished with it, what do u think? do i have a chance i am currently paying 1400 on my own name on the seicento so anything will be an improvement? lol! jusrt want to shock people in a mini?

Hi mate welcome to the forum.

Tesco was the cheapest for me by a long shot try them

Welcome benfredjosh (have you got all those names?). I'm an old git so my insurance will be different from yours, but I looked up car insurance on this site clicky and it recommended Lancaster (see Ian above). So I sent off for a quote to see how it compares with my Adrian Flux premium. Shopping around CAN save you cash but as Ian says the cheapest may hide some nasty get-outs in the small print.

Teapot, its one of the few good things about being an old git, lol
but i still moan if they want more than £150 ayear, i dont know how some of the younger guys on here can afford it when it starts getting near 1k

If your 19 anytime soon try MiniWorld insurance, and say your a member on hear (you get a 15% discount).

I paid £1800 on my 1425 race spec mini, first year of driving, 19, no NCB. I also had a bog standard 998 Clubby auto, which I paid about £400, again first year driving, 19, no NCB. Both policies are fully comp. Just had a renewal quote on the Clubby of £275, 1 yr NCB, 20. About to get a quote to get insured on the 1425 again. All this with MiniWorld.
