At 24 I was paying around £500 (2 years NCB) with Direct Line for agreed value, fully comp, 16k per annum, etc etc on my 850 T5. They're no use if you're doing mods, but excellent otherwise.

I cant comment on modified insurance as most insurers wont go near me as a result of my mileage. Classic policies also wouldn't touch me, for the same reasons.

Ah brilliant thank you! I'm not looking for modified, so direct line could be useful. Thanks for the reply

Probably worth a try-I have three classic cars with them on agreed values- different circumstances to you but a very helpful company.
Good luck-Bob

Thanks for the recommendation Bob, I'll certainly give them a try.

Hi Callum,

Good choice of car! I've had various classics insured with Footman James over the years including those daily driven, with agreed value. Might be worth a try, I've always found them very helpful and reasonable. Brentace are my other usual choice, but it sounds like you're in the enviable position of being too young for them to cover!

Good luck!
Stu

Hi Stu,

Thank you! Can't beat the older cars compared to the modern day hatchback haha. Thanks for the reply, I tried Footman James however they require me to be over the age of 25 Unfortunately Brentacre were coming in at too high a price.

Thanks everyone for your help on this matter. I've now sorted my insurance, unfortunately I haven't been able to source a competitive agreed value quote, so have had to settle for standard insurance. Still, better than paying £3k plus as some had quoted
