what kind of cover is it ? fully comp ? tp or tpft ?

is it garaged? parked off road ? driveway ?

it might come down to your age and he tpoints, in which case use the money for a bus pass and a rail card insteaad

try doing a website compare thing without pints just to see if it changes.

Maybe changing sex might help
My daughter (Clean licence mind ) had a 52 plate 1.3 ford Ka and with me as a named driver cost her £780 f/comp 1 year on she is now driving a fiesta 1.4 deisel on a 59 plate and is only paying £400 f/comp.
1st insurance was with AA
2nd insurance is with Aviva

well yea true point and no im not going to be butttt my car was only 250 smackers so not alot to part with!

good luck

when i was 17 the cheapest I could get on my 1l classic mini was £600 through tesco and now because it has had stupid amounts of money spent on it its done through Adrian Flux on a classic mini limited miles scheme but is still £400 4 years on!

bit of a random one but try marks and spencer my ex insured through them and they were alot cheaper than the common ones like quinn and tesco

agree with moose on this one i had a astra gte when i was younger £700 tpft sold that and brought a mk2 supra 2.8i £350 just because you come out of that young driver class of car

by the way got a nice 2litre megane for sale

Get a van.
2.0l td astra van £1300 tpft.

being 17 and 3 points. Your gonna be loaded plus you will only find a small pool of insurers will touch you.
Keep trying big brokers like swinton and hope someone has a special deal with someone on their books.

othewise sell the car and use the bus.

A mate and me were talking about the same subject this morning and how expensive it is for kids these days, but then if we are on 60% discount with max no claims you can start to realise as a 17 year old, no ncb and your points your gonna strugle to find much below 2k. Sorry to bearer of bad news.

I can remember paying £3-400 to insure my bikes 25+ years ago, and £400 car insurance bills (but we were talking Yank V8's then ) all TPF&T



Wankey mate, try sending Graham22 a PM - he may not be able to help directly, but may have some pointers to save some money - he's in the business if I remember correctly
