To my mummy.
I just bought a new car, (well, 6 months old, but you know).
It's a BMW 318ti SE Compact and I pick it up on Monday.
I'm happy, although the insurance company made a mistook and having bought the car they then charged me 5 times more!

Another bad idea. Those policies are practicall useless if you ever need to use your insurance.

Don't think you could get a more secure car. And I did shop around - for AGES! Most places had the cheek to quote me £2000+!

How old are you E_B?
yeah, in my experience, both of those are absolutely terrible quotes.
although maybe I should take into consideration the fact that you live in different areas of the country. don't know if that makes any difference.

Um.
Go for a new insurance company.

I don't get it. No crashes, convictions, nothing. It's all crap :(

My car has top-notch security. My quote is lower due to my job. But it is 2.0 and worth a fair bit and I'm only a young-un.

jesus christ, they saw you people coming, didn't they. ;)
for a start I would have to strongly recommend you take the 'second driver' option on a parents policy. failing that get cheaper insurance such as third party, fire and theft, or third party only.
third, do an advanced driver course, that'll drop your premiums a bit. Get various security systems fitted to it, and SHOP AROUND for a better quote.
I really can't get over the idea of paying 2 grand a year to insure your car. I think the most I ever paid was about 800 nicker, and that was when I was 17. and don't forget - should you have a crash, you'll be expected to pay excess too.

What car you got? How old are you? How long have you been driving?

What car you got? How old are you? How long have you been driving?
I am writing a letter to the company.
I was told that it would cost me £97 to change the car on my current insurance and then it would be £1,400 for the next year. I bought the car and then was told it would be £510 to change the car on my current insurance and then £1,900 for the next year!
I talked to a manager who then gave me a £40 discount...
I'm a little irritated.

Who are you insured with?
