Car insurance for under 25's...
Just playing fantasy garage on the internet after having been to the Yorkshire Big Breakfast meet this morning. Some absolutely stunning cars
there!
Anywho, I've just punched my details into directline and one or two other insurers looking to find out a rough cost for insurance on a vx220 or
lotus - I don't own one and I couldn't afford to buy one right now but I'm just killing time....
I'm 23 (24 in january), 6 years NCB, no points no convictions, YO26 york postcode (quite good postcode as far as I'm aware), and as it
happens completely un-insurable!
"Unable to quote at this time" is the answer from most of them. I ride a suzuki sv1000 which is capable of over 160mph and I'm fully
comp on that for £350 a year with 2 years ncb, yet it would be more of a risk for me to jump in a car with a power to weight ratio of around
150-160bhp....
are there any insurers out there who understand this kind of situation?
Thanks in advance P!

When I was 21 I managed to get a quote for a brand new Bentley (£21,000) and a Reliant Scimitar (£3000)
Seems anyone will insure me on anything, for the right price.
Did you use one of them comparison sites? Cos they're pants for anything slightly off the norm

ah cheers guys,
I refuse to use comparison websites based on the fact that ALL their adverts are so annoying and incredibly ghey...
I'm curious enough to find out what a rough insurance cost would be but not so to the point where I'd actually ring adrian flux etc. and
speak to someone about it.
I should probably really be in the garage instead of arsing about on here but hey ho.
Hmmm... vx220....

Being at such an awkward age you do really need to speak to someone - Flux Sykes, Roadsure etc who are at least in the same ball park and have some
idea of the risks.
My student daughter 21 has a hell of a job getting decent quotes - she had 3 years in York and is now in Newcastle, driving one of those notoriously
powerful Zook Jimnys after changing flats and moving a mile down the road she was asked for another +£500 by Admiral, her ex insurers that was on
top of another £100 for moving fronm York to Newcastle.
The insurance folks should be wearing stripey jumpers and masks!

Thats less than I'm paying on my panda (I was 21 with a years NCB at the start of the policy).
I would've thought your best bet for something like that would be to visit a brookers office.
