dann2707 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Sorry to dig this back up but a colleague at work is trying to insure his 17 year old son on a 1.1 Saxo and the cheapest quote he can get is £3200... is that seriously the going rate these days?! That seems very high. I paid ~ £1800 on a 1.8 Turbo Diesel Focus. Same amount on a 1.6 VW Golf. That was my own policy, not fronting.

MadManMike Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 It's not a crime, but it's totally pointless and mildly annoying. Mike. Mike MIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Them insurance prices seem mighty high, is it strange that I got quoted £455 for a mini with me as a second driver? I'm 17 too so seems a bit low. Got another one for £1200 with same details elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
