Young driver insurance

TBH that seems like quite a good price to me.

One thing I did notice that surprised me though was that my quote dropped if I chose to start my coverage 2 or 3 weeks later than the date I was looking. Was getting very expensive quotes for insuring it from the next day, but set it to the end of that month and it knocked £300 or so off the price.

I was advised when looking for insurance of my S3, that there is a huge premium for next day insurance. Plenty examples of uninsured person has accident on day one, goes home and buys insurance to start day 2 and claims almost instantly.

Started my policy 2-3 days later and it dropped £200.00!

Getting my 16 year old son a 1.2 Seat Ibiza FR this weekend and he's going to be almost £1400 with a telemetry box fitted, he's getting it now so he can get a head start and get some lessons on the drive before he hits 17 at the start of April.. Without the box it costs about double which is ludicrous. Might be showing my age but I always had fast fords when I was 17 apart from the Polo I learnt in, my second car was a Sierra Sapphire 2.0 GLSi all cossied up and that back then was £1200 a year, up til I was say 22 I was about £100 a month on insurance but the cars I drove were far better (Cooler) than the aygo brigade that are being charged that these days with telemetry fitted.. When I was 23 I had an Esprit Turbo and that was circa £600 a year, I bought a V8 Esprit at 24 and that was £900 a year and I also bought a 944 S2 for the 'winter' and that for some reason was £1300 even though less powerful and 6 years older than the Esprit, I just can't fathom insurance out....

Top work getting into Lotus ownership early and not letting the sh*t insurance companies put you off with inflated premiums! At 41 My Elise is £360 a year

Pay the money keep your nose clean and the figure will drop steadily.

Exige at 21 and Elise at 24? You are doing fine, young man

actually it is what he spent his deposit for a house on

Well when the other option was a pokey flat and crippling debt, applied man maths made the lotus look like a good investment!
