Insurance for 18yr old in a MK1..HELP!

As hard as iv tryed i cannot find anyone to insure me???
11 months driving in my mini and i finally finished my golf to find nobody will insure me for less than ?2500
can anyone help me find a cheaper way???
shes just sat on the drive waiting to be driven !!! so fraustrating!

I have sympathy for you mate.

I'm 19 and i'm paying 2221 a year.

First year of driving, and I only passed in sep!

So everyone quoting you 2500+ is a right ballache!

Sucks so much doesn't it bud?

Tried everyone in the back of pvw etc and all specialist performance/young drivers companies?

Hope you find something more realistic mate!

*I've got a mk1 Golf C 1.1

:y:

What type is it?… gti…. 1.3 driver?…..

I'm sure others on here can help.

its a 1.3 driver so i didnt think it would be that bad…
And yer it sucks so bad!!! just because we are younger they assume that all off us are boy racers who redline it everywere and endanger the public

I'd say if u can afford it then keep the mini as a daily drive and then insure the mk1 as a weekend show car through heritage as that will save u bucks but they will only cover for 7.5 thousend miles a year as a second car.

Good luck insurance sucks balls!!

i'm 20, was paying just over 2k at 18 for a 1.3 driver, with coilovers and wheels declared.

its just annoying that there isnt anything you can do about it!
i mean my dad can insure it for ?91 wich is rediculas
but just because iv not got x amount of years no claims  i cant drive the car iv worked my tail off to create
i just dont have 2k to be able to pay it im at college fulltime so its just un-dable.

I paid 620 at 25 and i passed in august. it's a 5door 1.1

funny thing is i was insured the day after I passed on a '96 1.8 16v mazda 626 for 520.

my 83 golf was a hundred quid dearer.

It's silly really.

All young drivers having trouble insuring their mk1 should try elephant car insurance!

Im 18 with 1 yr ncb and just got a 1.3 cl insured with coilovers and alloys declaired and im paying around ?800!

I payed 1400 last year on a 1.1 with more modifications with lancasters but they wont insure a car of that age now. Shows if you hunt enough you can get a really good price

Anyway, I doubt you would get a better quote than elephant from anywhere else

i was 19, last year, insured on my mk1 1.8 carbed, ?1200 TPFT with HIC

:? im 18 and paying ?600 ish TPFT..

:dontknow: kind of not the main driver though
