Is anyone else paying around £2600?

[AmberTempleHughes]

Hi everyone

I'm new, just bought a impreza 2000 turbo uk and I am a bit shocked by the insurance.

I'm 23 female, no points or anything like that, 1 years no claims and my car has a tracker and a alarm etc, got a 31 year old male on my insurance who's been driving for over 10 years and I'm paying about £2600 odd! I love my motor so its worth it but surely there is cheaper around?

I'm with admiral.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

hmm, That does sound a LOT of money for a 23 yr old female, had it been Male i would have expected 2k+

I have never found Admiral to be competitive. Buy Max power and call the companies in their adds. I am Certain you will get a Nice saving.

I have a Motor Trade policy and pay less than that.

my 20 year old has a 1.5 turbo mitsu, 2 1/2 years old & pays around 2k with Marks & Spencer insurance - & I thought that was steep!

Got mine via Adrian Flux (from ads in Banzai) much more competitive - give it a go as Derek suggests

Good luck with finding a better price for it

Call Keith Michaels insurance company and ask for a guy called Gary Moulson. I'm 29 but even with all mods declared, running over 500bhp and 3 years ncb and still way under £1000.

Also A-plan are pretty good for price.

Agree with Screechy, give Gary a call (only speak to Gary)

Swinton are not to bad but have you tried / moneysupermarket / gocompear / confused.com / I also found if you put a older driver down as well that puts your insurance down quite a bit i have my old man on mine but i am main driver still but it puts my insurance down by £100-£200 with some insurance companys . I also found sometimes it pays and is cheaper to go fully comp than third party . I think its mad how they can all charge diff amounts but they all go by ie were you live / were car parked day - night / alarm - imob / how many miles you do a year /
if car uk - import / if you use car for work & social or just social / in some cases if you are a home owner you can get cheaper insurance / and some give you discount if you are a member of a club etc etc .

ex :
older driver ( parent )
car parked day - night ( garage )
good alarm - imob ( cat 1 or 2 )
miles a year ( 5000 )
car model uk - import ( uk cheaper )
usage of car ( social )
insurance ( fully comp )
home owner ( ? )


Some insureance companys will give you discount for all off the above some will only give you discount for some

have you tryed uping the excess? but do's mean you gotta pay more if you have a ding:( i have a uk scoob too and the best people i could find was provincal, from memory i found them on gocompare.com

[Screechy]

Meant to say that JD thanks. Gary is the only one to speak to there as he is a subaru specialist and always gets the best prices.

try ecar! i found them way cheaper two years running! that was on my uk turbo 2000 with just alarm put down! i was 23 then and paid 900 with 6 years no claims,then went down to 800 the year after mind you the renewal with them this year went up to 1200 for some reason!made no claims or anything,rung them and they said thats how it is??? tryed around and got it for 550 with rac! that was always fully comp to!!

[Playswithfire]

bizarely i have found direct line to be the cheapest but a few hundred quid. although mine is unmodified as yet i'm paying around the £750 mark, it also depends on what you put down as your occupation, as librarians are supposed to get some of the cheapest insurance around, or a high cort judge. what other cars are in the house hold, as yoyu can some times het a multi car deal, you just have to try and talk to them to find as many discounts as that company will give you on one policy at once.

[Kim1ppp]

Try Kwik Fit, that's who I'm with, very cheap under £500 fully comp with protected no claims discount, although I am a tad older than you!!

[jd5217]

Currently paying £600 with all mods declared through Gary Moulson.

[scoobiesteve103]

im not with them but adrian flux quoted myself and my ex other half (shes 23) £649 tpft and £849 full comp im with warwick davies at the mo and altho there grate they wont touch any1 under 25

[sti_fairbs]

best i could get for my 08 STI hatch, was 1000 from admiral, thats wtih 7years no claims as a 25year old.

i found that upgrading alarm and fitting a tracker was gonna save me about 30quid. only worth it if ur in a suspect area i think. luckily i park on a military base haha :P
