insurance rip off
Lucy1978:
I'm 30 and live over 200 miles from my parents, but managed to reduce my car insurance by £100 by adding them as named drivers. No idea why that worked, but it's convenient for when they come visiting.

My girlfriend recently passed her test - advice from her - www.elephant.co.uk or www.admiral.co.uk or www.bell.co.uk

I would advise that you son blackbo does passpluss through his driving instructor he used. It costs £60 and is 3 2hour extra lessons about country lanes, motorways, towns you dont know, bad weather driving and a few other bits. I did it 10 years ago and some insurance companies still discount me now 10years on for doing it. I think I saved 1k alone in the first year. Must have saved about £2500 in total. Thats a good return on £60!
Adding a female to the policy sometimes helps, sometimes doesnt. also try lowering the estimated average mileage down by 1k, it might just pop him into the lower threshold.
Just keep shopping around and try a insurance co in a high street. Thats where I got my years first insruance as they came in alot cheaper and you can sit down and haggle and tweek the policy to get the best deal.

try insuring a modified LR 90, with no standard: engine, panels, wheels, tyres, suspension and roll cage.
and being 20 yrs old

it kills me every month when they rob my bank account :evil:

I used to have that Rob, but once you turn 21, it will decrease. Mine did, I'm fortunate now in that anything like that I can put on my trade insurance. But my insurance on ASBO did significantly decrease when I turned 21.

Be warned - Admiral companies have a little clause in their policy that lets them keep taking your premiums at renewal unless you tell them not to when you get the notification letter.
I told them not to take mine when I was with Elephant, but they did it just the same and it was a real hassle to get my money back. I won't use any of Admiral's brands now for that reason.
