Hi all,

Its that time of year again and im stuck!

With the car about to have alloys and suspension fitted, i now face the difficulty of being nearly 18 with a modified car.

Ive called a load of insurers today and they wont touch me.

Who can I call

All help appreciated

As we advised Bryony the other day, give Brentacre a call on 01792 650 933

They wont touch me - you have to be 19 to be anywhere close to getting insured

try ecar insurance, it came out £400 cheaper than quinn-direct, which was the cheapest on confused.com, although I havent declared my mod's yet...and i'm a bit worried about doing so to be honest!

Well tesco have said its gonna go up to £900 with my excess to £500 so just another £100 on top which isnt too bad i guess. Bring on older years!!!!

I will have a look tho

cool let me know how you get on, i'll be interested to see if mod's make a huge difference on the insurance by ecar

Yeah ecar are very cheap. Were miles cheaper than anywhere else.

Theyre not bad - a tad more expensive than my tesco at present which is £735. Ecar quoted £754 lol with the mods ive got £1009

You'll be even more worried if (touch wood your dont) have an accident and realise your insurance is invalid.

I know! it's been worrying me for a while, my rims hardly look standard

im 18 got three points n a claim against me, i got coilies and wider wheel and wider tyres all declared, on a mk4 1.0l with 0NCB and i got quoted £4000 with liverpool n Vic on it as standard but i got a quote with Lancaster insurance and am with a company throught them called Jubilee enthusiast, and am fully comp for £2200, try lancaster they have a website do a classic and modern quote, might help.

£4000 for a 1.0l? f**k that

The most I paid on the GTi has been £1700, that was 19 with 0ncb and I'd only been driving for 1 year.

thats good, i paid £1400 with ncb, under a years driving and the wisdom age of 21

The joys of being an old fart, at least insurance is reasonable !

Good luck getting it sorted Alex, hopefully they won't remove an arm and a leg for the privilege !
