Recently acquired my P1 - managed to get cheapest insurance from Tesco - and they were prepared to insure under 25's !!

 

How much did the insurance cost?? and how old r u ? and where abouts in brum r u ?
only i had a quote for one £1950, and i'm 33 living in the b24 area.

andy from brum

 

I paid 800 GBP approx for fully comp for myself and other half - not in inner city area - but I am considerably older than you ( and so is the other half)

 

After reading your message, I contacted Tesco and they came up with £481.00 (for a 98R Turbo), fully Comp for my Wife and I. My renewal with Axa Direct was £987... Thanks!

 

Glad to hear you saved so much money Toonman.

Over the last few years I have found that it is necessary to change insurance companies every year to get the best price - renewals are always more expensive than a new company's figure !!

 

Toonman,

just called Tesco. Got quoted £659 for a MY99 Turbo. They also insisted that i have a tracker fitted. Did they insist you have a tracker fitted?

 

The quote I got from Tesco insisted on some form of tracking device too.

Ended up going with quotelinedirect.co.uk, who were cheaper and don't require a tracker.

Edited to add comment about P1s having trackers anyway, and then edited again when I realised Toonman didn't specify his was a P1!

A Tracker's already fitted, but they wanted proof, which no Company's asked for before.

 

I've tried Direct Line but just get bogged down online, and never seem to get through on the phone. Mine's a 98R Turbo.

 

Im with direct line, they will specify that you have a tracker fitted though, but they were the cheapest for me tesco's didnt come close (300 quid off), also live in a high risk area so most companies laughed at me or gave me silly quotes (norwich union said 3500 quid!!!! ) ended up paying 1189 in total with alloys and performance pack fitted which still aint too bad (32 yrs old, full prot no claims, 2 accidents, 1 50/50 the other non fault)

Sorry Forget that request I just called them and they gave me a quote for £987.00 and said I had to have atracker fitted and a £350 excess - I'll stick with Norwich Union I think - thanks anyway

Ive also tried these and got a great quote, Out of interest what was the excess please and are you allowed to drive other cars on the policy?

 

Off the top of my head, I think the excess is £350. And it's a "no" to driving other cars, but I've got a second car on a policy that does allow that, so I wasn't fussed...

By the way, when I called them to confirm the quote, it ended up being cheaper than what the website quoted - that seems to be the opposite of most people's experience of on-line quotes...

 

could you give me the web site addy for a cheap insurance, i am 26 and want a scooby

 

Try to get a copy of What car June 2001. It has a supplement about what you can do on the web and some excellent insurance contacts inside the main mag.

Try all the companies mentioned in this thread and also a couple of specialists if you have no yound driver to insure.
