Insurance for a VTR...

[David]

As some of you will know, I'm looking at getting a new car - Astra or VTR....
Insurnace quote for an Astra 1.8 Sport 16v, no convictions, full year and 9 months no claims... £2328.90 on fire and theft...!
They won't even insure me for a VTR...! :panic: (This is tesco btw...)
Any ideas who I can use?

[David]

Bell just quoted me £1351 fully comp...!!

IM 18 no no claims my own policy on a vtr tpft with Admiral £680, but i threw my mum on the policy as 2nd driver she also has no no claims but has bn driving for over 5 years

[mr_mason]

Try Quinn Direct matey, on one year driving and one year no claims, they sorted m out at £1000 fully comp. On a VTR 02 Plate. :y:

The likes of Tesco, Direct Line, Churchill and More Than WON'T insure you on a VTR until you are 21 mate - trust me, I have been there.

I'm with Bell (£1,155 Fully Comprehensive with 3rd party cover too) I'm 19 with 2yrs NCB. I'd try them, Elephant, Admiral and Brentacre - cheapest for miles buddy.

Hope that is of some help.

Hey guys this is my first post i have been keeping an eye on saxperience since my initial interest in the saxo vtr. I got a good deal on a saxo from a friend who is getting the car in good condition and with a years MOT. The car is lowered and has a body kit, the front bumper is a mess and there is a huge graphic covering the bonnet of the StAndrews cross which i don't think i want to keep. Anyway long story short this is actually my first car i have been driving constantly for nearly four years with work and i was absolutly mortified upon trying to get my first insurance policy.

I was refused a few times then finally got fully comp for £700, but I was not fully aware that the car having a body kit had to be declared and i didn't know at this point the car had been lowered. So i went back and my insurance was cancelled from Fortis. So off Swinton brokers went to find me insurance and i eventually signed up for insurance with Norwich Union for a price of £1400. I took it then remebered this forum so here i am asking all you experienced guys some advice. I am 29 BTW and i don't know if this is a good deal or if i should/CAN cancel and get it with someone other, better insurance provider.

I have been looking forward so much to getting this VTR as my first car but now everything seems to be putting me off, this is the reason i have never considered getting a car. Money.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me thanks a lot!!!

hey mate i got my 1998 vtr 3 weeks ago and found out that any insurance company who is linked to the RBS (royal bank of scotland group) wont insure any1 on a vtr who is under the age of 21. thant incluses tesco, direct line and many others. I went through peoples champion and got a quote for £560 TPFT with swinton direct. I am 17 and 3rd driver after my parents, one of which has 9yrs no claims.
hope this helped
