I know this will sound a bit obvious, but have you tried all the compare sites? My insurance is £190 fully comp with windscreen cover. I have a scooby classic which was only costing £500 fully comp but to insure my Jimny through the same company was £350!!!! and i almost went with them! A quick search saved me nearly £200.

before you part with the money, check the company out on www.reviewcentre.com.

There is one company in particular best avoided I wont post the name in an open forum but

www.reviewcentre.com/reviews103920.html says it all.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

i wasn't aware that if you have a number of years no claims registered in your name, you can't use it on a second car. You basically have to start from zero. It caught me out big way, when i bought the Jimny and the insurabce co asked for proof of my no claims.... What a rip off! A legal way to rob motorist. :evil:

True, but a lot of companies will give you the equivalent discount for the second car if you ask them. For example LV do, particularly if you ask for a multicar policy, LV then said to me "we don't do multicar polices, but we can offer you the equivalent discount on the second car"

same here with Frank Pickles and Adrain Flux - tell them its a fun car and if its on a low mileage policy then they will give very competitive prices

I spoke with Admiral last week for a quoute for son aged 21 to drive daughter's Jimny -they were talking £1500 when I asked why so expensive they said in their ranking it was insurance group 17 due to cost of repairs/panels etc, it's not really going to work for young people at that rate :(

I still can't find a good competitive price, and I have also found that quotes quickly expire so when I find a good one, I look at it again later and it's £300 more! I just called 'insure the box' and they said comparison website prices and totally different to actual insurance costs, making the prices they advertise false, is this even legal? :(

All I can surgest mate is having to bite the bullet for the first year to get your no claims and then after that it should fall by about 1000£ I know this is still a lot but in the long run it would be worth it. At least I hope that

How do you tell them it's a 'fun' car? Websites don't give the option to select 'fun', or do I do it by phone? And if I told them that, would they start to think, I'm a risk, doing 'boy racer' activity as I'm a 17yr old male...? Cheers
