Dear all,

I have just got my full UK drivers licence and there is a nice Rover Mini Italian Job I have seen, however am really struggling with insurance quotes.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look or who to talk to about getting a good quote?
I have tried price comparison sites like Go Compare etc, so far best I have found is £3000 a year.

Any help would be extremely appreciated :)

Moved to insurance sub forum,

Have you tried somewhere like Marmalade?
You may end up having to get a black box fitted to bring your premium down.

On,y downside is they only insure vehicle 9 years old or younger , my eldest is 17 and just passed his test, it was cheaper to get him a brand new car with free insurance, crazy times.

Thank you for moving this to the correct area of the forum.

I have looked at them but as you said, they only insure cars less than 9 years old.
I'll have to keep looking, I have seen Marmalades new car and insurance deals just in case, but really trying for the mini haha

I paid £3100 for my first year in a Austin Metro Gta (1275) and that was with a box. This year I paid £1900 on a Ibiza FR TDI and £1800 on a Mazda mx5

 

Grit your teeth and find the cheapest non black box quote you can. Churchill wanted £2700 for my first year on my mums insurnce on my own car and own policy without a box and I should've took it while I could!

Can I recommend doing the IAM course? It's not expensive (they do a discount if you're under 25), I found it really good, and - while I was a bit older than you, I found their insurance deals very good.

Usual trick, add your folks to the policy (as long as they've got clean licenses), it helps loads.

Pass plus used to help get insurance premiums down. You could give that a try.

Adrian flux were the cheapest I could find. I don't think they're on price comparison sites though so you'll have to give them a call.
