Just don't confirm that you want to go through with it at the end.

Try www.confused.com they search round most insurance companies for you removing the need for you to enter you details 40 million times. I've not tried it but their TV commercials are highly convincing. TV never lies to me Title: Car insurance Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 15:54:20 Quote from: "Sussex Red" If you go to directline.com you can put all the details in and it'll give you a quote. Just don't confirm that you want to go through with it at the end. Tried that, need the registration of the car and I don't have it. And what the fuck made you think I was 15???? Title: Car insurance Post by: Amir on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 15:56:42 Quote Tried that, need the registration of the car and I don't have it. Make one up. Going to cost about a grand isn't it? My first car's insurance was more than the car cost.

Title: Car insurance Post by: Amir on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 16:08:01 Third party?
Title: Car insurance Post by: walrus on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 16:51:50 Sonic - how long have you been insuring your Clio? You could go 3rd party on a Golf if it's not too valuable, but if you wrote the car off....
For a 1.6 you're best off having 2-3 yrs of driving behind you before insurance companies give you a fair claim. 21 is meant to be the age where insurance majorly drops. I'm still paying 1100 on my second year of insurance for a 1.2!!! :shock: Title: Car insurance Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 17:00:02 I'm a named driver on the Clio, the policy isn't in my name. It was my Mum's but she rarely drives it now and as it stands we're going to have to get another car otherwise none of us will be able to go to work or in my case, college :]
Got a quote for £750 3rd party on the clio which is pretty good. £1200 was cheapest for that Golf, I think it's pointless getting a nice car 'til I'm 21 :/ Title: Car insurance Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 19:44:55 I'm 22 and Ive been driving since I was 17. Because I drive my dads company car I've never had insurance. Does this mean when I get a car of my own they will treat my like a 17 year old? I've never crashed or anything so I should just get free insurance.
Title: Car insurance Post by: DV on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 19:57:51 One way or another, at some stage you will end up playing a big sum for insurance....
Title: Car insurance Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 20:01:46 not if i drive company cars forever. Wutang
Title: Car insurance Post by: Amir on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, 20:56:47 If you've been driving 5 years most companies will give you 1 year no claims bonus regardless :)

I've never crashed or anything so I should just get free insurance. My dad drove company cars till he was about 35. He had a hard time insuring his own car first off, most companies don't want to know and will treat you like a new driver, but some companies will give you some form of benefit as you've been driving for longer, but you'll still pay more than you would have done.
