corgigasman Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am 32 and have been driving on a provisional licence on other peoples insurance for years. Just for fun I went on a reputable comparison website to see what I would be insured for on a £500 car once I decide to get a full licence and....... £2400 (a year) was the cheapest. Ok I dont really want a car but this is crazy! I've driven for 15 years and not one accident or even close.... Plus, when people have added me to their insurance they've onle had to pay the admin charge to add me as a named drived (IE no increase in their premiums). I thought that being older would help but not on my nelly Exactly. Unfortunately this is FAR too typical..........I fear it encourages people to go uninsured.

Stvoider Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Exactly. Unfortunately this is FAR too typical..........I fear it encourages people to go uninsured. I get that it is not just the value of the vehicle I am paying for but for the damage I pay for other injured parties but this has no justification. I think we need an opening up of the industry with a DECENT investigative body. given the importance of insurance, and what it can mean to those affected, and how insurance companies seem to wriggle out of even the simplest payments to people even if they are not the beneficiaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for Tesco's in the end with a hefty £60 discount for being a club card holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the cheapest insurance available, just to keep within the law. Sod any horror stories, I'll cross that bridge if I need to make a claim. . . .
