My son is looking to go onto PH for the first time. He's 22 and had his drivers license a year, with no claims. He's looking to put a 2005 Vectra on (not that that's really relevant). Any idea on his insurance cost? What are you paying please if there are any other young lads ont he forum. Just so he's got an idea before he goes to his insurer etc. Any info appreciated... |

They are going to have his pants down with insurance at that age especially at 22. Like Sussex said you'll be looking at £2500-£3000. Tell him to leave it until he's 25 the insurance won't be as much then. As for the No Claims I don't think you can transfer them over if your Taxi driving for the first time. |

My first insurance for PH was £3600 for fully comp and £1800 for third party fire and theft. That was for a 40 something with no accidents. |

The best advice is shop around, most will reduce the price if the excess is high |

yes...it "Should be"..but it isnt..the Insurers just keep bumping up the price and the Excess. An excess of say £300 quid probably deters around 75% of claims being made...even up to £400 pound and Id still probably pay for the repair out of my own pocket just to keep them from bumping up the premiums still further in the future due to lost NCB...either way you look at it they've got ya by the short and curlys... Its that wee bit that asks " any Claims in the last five years" that scares me.. |
