It always helps to put your dad or mum on your policy. For some reason, it drops. Mine went down 50 quid (!). I can't believe those prices though, can't you get on your parent's insurance or something? It's depressing!

how old are you joe? as when my missus had a crash 3yrs ago, three claims (one including me as i had half my ear cut off )she got 5 points for danderous driving, she paid 1200 on a 1.1 mk3 fez bomb, the next year she got a mk4 fiesta 1.25 75bhp iirc and that was a grp6 insurance she paid 980.

think classic if you do decide to go for a car, 6k milage per annum, even a mk4 escort xr3i is now considered classic.

for a scooter tho a 125 gilera runner is a great scooter 55mph wheelies

Good idea, but theres your answer Miek

Ah!
Classics are the way to go though, on classic insurance you'll be paying at least 500 quid on something from the 70's.

but dont you have to be over 21 to have classic insurance?

I was just thinking the same, I don't know if I'd be able to get classic insurance at 17/18yrs with my Mini...

the older the car doesn't always mean its cheaper, my insurance actually went down £200 going from a civic 96 1.4 to a civic 02 1.6 vtec sport. quinn direct seem to be the cheapest i can find

cheers for the suggestions guys, but I've tried everything. The only thing which are cheap are 4x4's. I mean, I got quoted just over £1000 with a 3.5 V8 Land Rover Discover (Gas Converted). A Massive Car/Tank, and yet really cheap insurance....why so? Does anyone know?

I think if my car doesnt sell, I'll garage it and try and get a 4x4 or maybe walk about for a bit until I can afford the insurance again on my beemer.
