quote for 1999 standard Uk Turbo

elephant = £1670 for 10 months
Belldirect = £1956
Greenlight = gotta be over 30
L&V = gotta be over 25
Performancedirect = gotta be over 25
Tesco = need to have at least 2 years NCB!

Any other young scooby drivers got any tips on getting insurance lower or any other companies?

Or is elephants the best quote im gonna get?

 

I know it sounds daft mate, but I hear Sainsbury's are pretty good on young drivers now. Not to sure what their like when you throw a scoob into the equation though.

you shouldnt need any NCD with tesco.

I didn't when I first insured mine 3 years ago

The buggers have changed their criteria now

Give Egg a try.

elephant = £904 with 5 years ncb and 24 year old on a 95 spec import fully comp and protected

 

Tesco have just had to underwrite my insurance because they have changed there criteria:
23Y/o male living in a low risk area (i hope)
exisiting customer with 1 years no claims bonus,
I have a 52 plate sti7 and that was £3100.

A 52 plate Sti £3100 your having a laugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Have you tried Admiral? (I realise that elephant are part of the same co.) They recently contacted me following quotes on confused.com and offered me fully comp insurance on an imported RX7 twin turbo for £663. I'm 24 with 5 years NCB.

Also from sxoc-

ok, firstly credit where credit's due. This list is from the MLR's EVO buyer's guide. There's all the usual names in there I recognise plus a few more that have gotta be worth a try.

I moved my WRX to Tesco this year as they were much cheaper for me this time round but last year the cheapest I could get was with Norwich Union Direct (http://www.NorwichUnionDirect.com) so they're worth a try.

 

I am 18 have been quoted 4200 for a non turbo scoob with alarm etc.

Looks like I will be a scooby opwner soon!!

 

You are mad to pay that much for insurance! I don't think i've paid £4200 since I started having car insurance 6 years ago!! You realise that if you wait a year or so you could prolly halve that amount with a year or so NCB?

Still, I guess you'd get a nice car... ignore me if you are loaded tho!

 

you could be worse off bud. been quoted 4k for mine....dont ask why!

 

£4200 for a non-turbo! surely that cant be right?

their only a group14 even if you are only 18, thats sounds incredible high to me!

 

Just insured a N reg WRX with minor mods, 23, 6yrs ncb, CAT1, tracker for £1500 with Keith Michaels Insurance in London

 

im 23 with 9 points and 5 years ncb i live in se2 (high high area)im paying 1800 fc

 

Hi all,

Looking to get to get me a scoob, but so far the majority of the cars out there that ive seen advertised are imports.

Anyone know which companies will do insurance on imports at the mere age of 23?

Got 3 years NCB, and am a professional driver (think that makes a difference with some companies)

Was quoted 1200 fully comp for a 96 standard uk turbo (tesco), but i would prefer to get an import model.

Thanks folks

 

I've just turned 24 last week,

Got an my03 wrx sti uk type and paying £1200 with privilege, 5 years no claims and 3 points. They do require a tracker tho

 

just got a quote from elephant, £2700 for an import wrx.

Just when i was thinking of going the uk turbo route, prudential come up with a quote of 1600 and no tracker required. Game on!

 

Try Privilege - they just quoted me £677

 

cant until next year,(touch wood) need 4 year ncb, i only got 3.

 

im 21 . with tesco no yrs no claims low risk area £2000

 

Try Royal Bank of Scotland, Just renewed mine, Im 23 with 3 years no claims and paying £1750 for an my00 Sti Type r.
