insurance prices

my mate has been quoted 2 grand for a bravo 1.4 1999 he is an eighteen year old male with 1 years no claims however they are transfered from his parents insurance! is this price 2 steep or is it the norm please let me now wat you think or if youv had the same experience please share! i'm just convinced its to dear! cheers the duke

Sounds too dear but there are other factors to consider, where do they live? Are they in a good postal area? Is the car parked on the street etc etc

If he can find cheaper or can't afford it - then it's too steep!

eh? Has he tried endsleigh insurance? I got a quote of 1300 a year for my 1.2 16v mk2 punto (02). (at 18 with no NCB!)

I think that really is bloody high though!

Tell him to get a diesel car! It would have cost me 850 a year to insure a 1.9 turbo diesel stilo! MUCH cheaper insurance matey

Well my mate Jas is insuring a 1.4 Peugeot 206 for £1600 at the moment, with 0 years no claims. So i'd say it was steep, especially as Fiat's tend to be slighly cheaper to insure.

I'm 19, male, have 1 years no claims and have just insured my new car (Fiat Stilo 1.9 JTD 115 Dynamic) for £800 a year with Quinn Direct - this being my second year of insurance.

My first year was £1300 for a 1.2 1999 Fiat Punto!!! - expensive.

Quinn i found to be the best as you can drive other cars on third party as long as their insured by someone else (your mates, parents etc.). Also it doesnt matter if your only covered third party you can still drive them on third party.

My first year insurance was with Liverpool Victoria (the best i could find for 1st year).

I live in the Midlands, and car is parked on a drive if that makes any difference.

Hope it helps.

They want £1500 of me

glad im with more than, but there still £1300 a year, might see less then a grand this year hopefully

Unless the car is say a porsche or ferrari then this does not generally apply

my cousins share a car (ones at uni, the others learning), its a 04 plate 1 litre corsa i think (my aunty and uncle bought it for them)

they got a quote for it parked on the drive and in the garage (they live a few miles out of wakefield in a very very nice area

as there cars dont fit in the garage (grand scenic and espace ), the quote they had for garage for the corsa was only 40 pounds cheaper then on driveway, not exaclty much really

shop shop shop and shop somemore you will get it alot cheaper, dont use these stupid search websites that check 100's for you there sh*t. the cheapest i got with them was £1200 i ended up getting it for £780 fully comp with adrien flux, i have no no years, 2 drink driving, a no insurance and a motorway speeding and i drive a 2.0 16v tipo.
