insurance help :(

being 17 insurance sucks ino, but I have been told miced responses when I say could I get my own classic car pollicy for a mk1 golf being 17, alot said no you have to be 21 or around that and some say if you ring some of the up they will give you one even though your young as some say they know 17yo's who have them. any help much appreciated guys, thanks Stuart.

shop around is the only way i fould altough jellybelly may post as he has a classic policy with no age limitaion, i just cant remember the name.

The only thing you can do mate is ring loads of insurers.

What may be good for someone else may not be for you.

Someone posted on here the other day that they got classic insurance for under £200.

Yet the same company quoted me over £3000.

I lost count of the amount of phone calls I made.

if someone could tell me the names if some classic insurance companies to get me started the would be brilliant, and if someone knows the name of that no age requirement one would be amazing thanks for everyones help

i think the usuals like footman james and peter best are no good for your age mate, but try adrian flux ! think they maybe good for younger drivers ... ?

thanks I'll google them now and see if I can get a phone number a give them a ring after college

have you done all the comparison sites to. its were i found my cheapest

I might do that now have a bash on like comparethemarket and so on

What quotes have you got back so far??

getting some rediculous ones of between 3-5k, but I know someone who has 1300 for their first year and he's 17 I'd like that tbh but need to find who he's with but haven't had a chance to speak to him yet

Like I said before mate, whats good for someone else dont mean its going to be good for you.

I personally wouldnt bother getting quotes online, you cant get the help or service you get with talking to someone on the phone.

Grab a yellow pages, go to the first insurance page and start ringing round :-)

Wow! £3000-£5000 is serious money for insurance  8O  …..then again I dont suppose it is any cheaper if you went with a modern car either  :?

I'm 41 and my daily insurers tried upping my insurance by £50 this year with no reason for the increase..keep shopping round, always keeps them on their toes

The renewal for the  classic insurance on the MK1 came through on Monday, and even though the quote is still the same, I noticed they put items on the renewal that I never agreed to before (Alarm/Immobiliser and a few other things) , suppose they will try to increase it when I ring them and tell them they got wrong information  :?
