Insuring a 17 year old on a 480

Chris Wickers · Jun 12th, 2013, 00:45

I remember having a conversation with someone who had a quote for their 17 year old daughter on a 480 which was around £1000 per year.

If they frequent the forum - is there any chance they could let me know the company/broker?

Many thanks

Chris

Have you not tried Chris Knott Insurance yet who do the VOC scheme ?

I'm sceptical of most group schemes / discounts, but after all the quotes ended up with a deal that at least matched the best ?

No no-claims build-up with this sort of policy though.

Don't forget, in the past Ladies used to get insurance cheaper.

2 and a bit years ago when I was 18 it cost £1600 to insure my 480 with one years no claim and a clean license. This was with Elephant.

I used Performance Direct and managed to get a classic insurance policy. It was limited mileage and won't build up no claims, but it was only 300 pounds a year. Car was (is) a 480 turbo. Maybe worth a look to see what is the lower age limit for classic policies...?
