I'm with aviva because footman James wouldn't quote me (I'm 19) and I got it for £1500 fully comp + I'll get no claims aswell

im sorry, but with the tracker are they saying that young drivers are more likely to crash between 11 at night and 6 in the morning. and a grand is to much i think let alone 2800 .

its a con, i reckon insurance should go either one of two ways.

1, they charge stupid money, but if you dont crash you get half back.
2, they charge like 600, but if you crash it doubles.

1. as an incentive to not crash, and be carefull
2. as a pentaly for crashing,

two would mean that other drivers wouldnt have to take the strain, of the odd few stupid people.

Peter James is the man to see!

tried , then fell off my chair

[SimonWicklow]

I'm not sure why you're being quoted so much, is it a 998? modified? have you tried putting you as an additional driver? mine went down by £300 just for putting my mum as an extra driver

[rids]

standard 1275 rio... me (45year old full no claims) as named driver Ive had 1 quote under 2 grand. when i started restoring it, footman james (who i;m insured with, £150 all mods declared ) had a young driver policy which has now been withdrawn.
