insurance time!!!
it be that time of year again and the insurance renewal dropped through the door yesterday morning,
so after much avoiding i went insurance shopping!!
Based on me being 31, held full licence since August '95 (wife since Oct '91) and having Full NCB available (both the same) and the car being parked at Fathers driveway with 2k miles a year (just incase i need it best have what the most milage i've done in the past few years!!), fully comp + use of other cars, wife as named driver, protected ncb and legal, £100 excess, alloys declared, cat 1 alarm immob. etc.
Best quote came in at £158!
very pleased with that! did make me smile that the worst quote came in at £760!!
did get a bit fed up with having to go through the same info 3 times for the three different comparison sites and direct line, but for a quote like that its worth it!
going to see if my current one which came in at £327 can get close (doubtfull!) and then ring tother up and see if they can improve it further!!

16v insurance
That is a good price.When I got a quote for mine I put Nic on it too,as he couldn't get a cheap one.(Under 25!!) Mine was £135 for 3k. I have the advantage of being old and some 48years NCB,although they don't count all of it.If they did,they would probably be paying ME!!LOL.

as that is my main job at the mo, (prior to i always had motor trade down which as am sure you know makes a Massive hike in the premium! )
you are right though about the lists for occupations, although some site's have always had a short list of a dozen or so to choose from, others are just mental with almost Every one option available!!
one thing never to tell your insuance company is that you are a car valeter and have a part time job in the local pub! pretty much The two most loadable jobs there are! all for beinig honest hey!

This all sounds quite sunny
I am hoping to get the silver valver on the road sometime this summer and it is a long time since we have insured a standard car.

hahahha!will be quite novel for you then luke! just type in the reg no. and thats it lol!
my quote was with the alloys declared (better to be safe than sorry!!)
still amazes me how many poeple kick off a huge fuss when they claim on the ins and get voided due to non std, non declared parts (local 'cruiser' forum!) and then think its acceptable to do things like put a 2l in a 1.1 shell and leave it as a 1.1 on the log book!
anyways, i would have thought your quotes should be similar luke!

Whos the next youngest person after me who has managed a quote of sub £200? Just wondering how long its going to be untill my insurance for a 16v becomes that cheap. Had a look at insurance on the beast for july onwards when i MAY be able to afford running it again, assuming ive found a job after uni...came out at £675 with admiral, cheapest i found through GoCompare. That was for fully comp and 2 years no claims, dad as second driver and me as owner of a motorcycle too so that i wouldnt be in the car alot, which seems to make it cheaper and all the extras like legal cover, windscreen cover, courtesy car all included at no extra charge. when i last used the car a year ago, it was £800 for third party F&T at the cheapest so im happy its gone down a fair bit, but compard to you guys its still alot.
Thats the same with me Vanny, my car is just for fun so doesnt do many miles. Id be all for these pay per use insurance things if there wasnt a fear of it recording speed too
When im back in leicester and even in coventry in fact, everything is either walking distance or riding distance, car parking prices are ridiculous everywhere and it takes so long to find a spot that i hate using cars for commuting and travel now, the bike wins hands down.
