tomm Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 hey, The time has come for me to get a first (sensible) car. I am 17 so obviously have no NCB i am a student but work in retail also. I would idealy Love a mk5 escort but seem to be getting stupidly high quotes of £3000 which i am pretty sure is over priced for a 1.4 escort! The cheapest i have managed to get insurance is with endsleigh on a 1.1 fiesta at £1200 but that quote has now exspiered and i dont particualy want a fezza. The car will always be garaged in a not so bad area (cant remember the risk code now) and i have a cat1 alarm and imobiliser from a previous car which would be fitted. The best places i have found so far are tescos, endsleigh and CIS but can any one advise me on where to go and how to lower my insurance. i dont want to be paying 3K on a 1.4 escort!

Martin Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Try elephant! Add a couple of older drivers and they knock money off for some reason (I added my dad and they took £200 off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomm Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 thanks for that! i have tried elephant but the only person i can add is my mother who has had her liceance since 1981 but has only just this year got her own policy so unfortunately its making my quote even more exspensive! Although i will try them again, Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
