greenlight mate, i was 24 when i picked mine up and they were by far the cheapest and still are 2 years down the line :happy2:
-
i bought mine at 25 but thats when insurance drops a lot. try greenlight first not sure if they will be the best for under 25yr olds but modded GTIs fo sho. :happy2:
its a good idea to get insurance quotes before buying a car or even modding it as you could be stuck with something you cant insure especially if you were gonna go mad and put a fiberglass body kit on it! :laugh:
-
just changed from adrian flux to greenlight now that im 21 :happy2:
-
Thanks for the advice folks deffo no fibre glass body kits here mate, fook that!! :signLOL:
i did get a few quotes before putting some cash down on the car, does being an advanced driver make a difference? i have that with being a firfighter and ERD qualified :happy2:

There was a thread recently where someone was getting preferential rates through IAM website. :happy2:

I'm a girl :innocent: But also had a full bike licence since I was 17... Not sure if that helps at all... first year paid £960, second year paid £840... but I do 10 month policies which are obviously cheaper but they still give you 1 years NCB :happy2:

P.S. Had 1 years car no claims at 19 and put both my parents on as named drivers which brought it down quite a lot :pomppomp:

Yep that could be why yours is much cheaper, they won't even give me a quote on a GT TDI never mind a GTI. Although I'm 19 and held my license 2 years.

I tried Greenlight, i had tried the compare websites and was getting back between 700-800, but greenlight have quoted 500......no brainer.

Do you mind me asking how much your mk5 GTI was at 18 Ash?
Cheers :happy2:

Hey Ollie..
It was 2,800 on my mums name with me n my dad as named drivers when I turned 19 it went down to 1,900… Then after a couple of months of being 19 I changed to my MK6 now my insurance is 2,400 on my own name with my folks as named drivers this is all with Bell.

I wouldnt advise doing this route though (as you did with the mk5) as insurance companies are much wiser to fronting now.
-
^^^+1.
Because so many people have been doing it, insurers are aware that i you have a car with parents as named drivers and teenager as additional driver, it's likely the teen is the main driver. This can invalidate your insurance. Or they just won't insure you.
-
The MK5 was in my mums name... now the MK6 is in my name and my own policy..
-

Thats why i said not to go the route you did with the mk5 as you were never really insured, not legally anyway.
-
Why wasn't I insured if I was a named driver??
When I got pulled it was all fine n when I was involved in a accident everything was fine...

You were insured, but if they were able to show you were the main driver and not just an occasional (named) driver the insurance would have been void.
Its called fronting and is a criminal offence if proven.
Its so serious that insurance companies are now going to give a 'kid key' for named drivers on the policy which inhibits the power of the car.

O I see... thanks for the info jules..

Cheers Ash,
I will give Bell a try thought for the GTI and GT and see what they give, Ive been trying everywhere for someone to insure me on a GTI. I gave up and know am looking at a GT for a couple of years.
Cheers
