Have you tried putting your parents on your policy as having an older driver named on it can help to bring the quote down also try direct line as my son got a better price from them with me and his dad as named drivers

You’re a young lad regardless on what licence you hold. It will be a few years before you can get cheap insurance.

Didn't know your insurance was due. I've never used Cornmarket, was thinking of getting a quote myself. Mine is due next month!

it’s not far of mate, about three months away so try to get a rough idea of quotes in prep for it as cheaper buying it in advance at my age. Just felt like having a rant 😂

We’ve all been there mate. You’ve just got to bide your time. That’s a lot of money. My Golf R costs £265 fully comp protected NCB - but I’m 49 and probably classed as old!

All they think is money, they can get away with it so they do, they charge whatever they like there is no logic behind it and they think of nothing else other than how much will these idiots pay 🤔 (meaning everyone paying for car insurance me included) 🤣

ahahah 😂😂😂 this is it mate, you get granny’s that can’t even park in an empty Tesco car park that pay less per year. Thing is it just seems to change for different people, some above said it went down some said it went up. Insurance just seems to be a legal way to rip people off

11 years no claims and mine went up 40-50 quid a year when I passed and started driving class 2.. I worked in an office before.. apparently re-doing theory tests/hazard perception and passing a driving test in a hgv makes you more of a risk? Go figure.. 😂
