Matt86 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was paying the same at 17 for a 1.4 and insurance for the young has gone up. It is expensive though I know what your saying!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherrybeard Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Try the same company that were insuring you as a named driver. Tesco have always given good prices although they are a little slack for customer service and what not. Certain companies will recognise your number of years as a named driver but you wont get the same discount as having a proper no claims bonus.

I'd agree with the comments made about tesco, i paid £1200 3 years ago for my 1.3 escort, insurance has shot up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 3i Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) My insurance was £1352.00 last year and is £790 this year. All on a 1.4 escort Just bite your lip and pay it. If you cant afford the insurance, dont drive and take the bus Edited December 1, 2008 by Andy 3i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
