vtr insurance has got more expensive!

[milesg]

hi, i just turned 18 so i have decided to get a vtr, i wanted one when i was 17 but insurance was around 1600 so i thought i would wait until my birthday and hen get one, im now getting quotes for 2250, thats with money supermarket and quinn, i dont get it, i thought the insurance goes down as you get older, i have a pass plus aswell

does anyone know where i would have a chance of getting cheaper insurance?? cheers

I went with Quinn-Direct for insurance for my 1.1. Now on my 2nd year on a 51-Plate Vtr im paying £1300, 3points & written off a car, not my fault.
Im trying to get quote for my renewal ... getting £930 from Quinn-Direct and there the cheapest.

I might go back to them as it was descent customer service and aftercare.

Insurance varys a lot. Where u live ... Garaged or sitting on the road ... speeding points ... write offs .... age .... everything lol.

[milesg]

well i havent got any more points on my liscence, the car will be parked on the road, im living in a medium crime area, the thing is i got the same quote a month ago before i turned 18 and it was 600 less so i dont understand whats happening, i was thinking of a vts but now i have no choice but to go with a vtr, any suggestions on places to get cheaper insurance?

Try www.endsleigh.co.uk they were good for me.

gotta broaden your scope of insurers... your two choices for quotes have never produced cheap quotes for me.

[milesg]

adsayer - where have you got cheap quotes from mate?

[Berg]

im 18 and pay about £1650 with quinn
but before i passed my quotes were a bit cheaper so have gone up a bit

[mikeef88]

19, 1yncb, no points, pay £700 with quinn. Never paid more than £1100 on any insurance quote on the three cars I've owned.

Edit: 1999 VTR

[Mieran]

I just did a quote with Quinn again and insurance on any VTR went up by £200 :(

[flee123]

I jst got a quote this afternoon off Quinn Direct.
VTR R reg
£1063
1 years no claims
Drive parked
No dinks or shunts ever
Pass plus

Adrian Flux are pretty competitive for me, waiting for an email from them.
Think they will be cheaper as I am an existing customer.
Keep shopping around, you will get a cheap one somewhere mate.

[Kwijibo_VTR]

Damn I feel that my insurance deal is pretty good now.
R reg VTR
0 NCB
2 Accidents
7 Points
IAM
Passplus

And I'm only....£900 Full comp for the year :)
But it think its because of where i live and my car is parked on a secure drive and it has a cobra alarm fitted.
That it with Bell by the way, always found them to be very good.

Quinn are really weird with insurance. I got quoted £150 less on a vtr than a 1.1 and now both have gone up by £300.

Was the 1.1 newer, parked in the same area or had extra mods?
