What the fuck are you driving, a brand new corvette? Mine's $160ish/month.
Iits most likely because I have only had my license for around a year and live in a largely populated area.ebug9 wrote:

I drive my dad's 2l Volvo V50 estate, need it for moving heavy gear, have only had my license for a couple of years so it's around £1200

Are you driving a gold-plated magic carpet?
Mine's probably around $1k/year, can't remember.
18 years old. I'm paying $1,200 a year.
There's a lot of things you can do to get your car insurance lower.. Drivers ed and good grades brought my insurance down a ton.

600 a year at 17 hahaha suck it
grades is 10%
and dad being a CPA is another 10% maybe more
and the car im primarly insured upon is like a 16/20 on safety ratings so thats another few hundred bucks, even though i drive another car im secondarily insured on mostly
mercury btw for you other guys who want a sick rate- my parents have their policy with them too though so thats probably why- I think there might be an umbrella with the house and shit too i cant remember if they switched that from AAA... anyways

nearly 33.
My insurance was £200 full comp for a 2.4 TDI Land rover defender with my dad as a named driver.
Plus £20 extra on my mums car insurance to add me as a driver. (for long journeys my permanent 4wheel drive rover is hard on juice)

My insurance was about £700 this year. Bit steep for a 2.0, I think anyway.
Doesn't your fully comp insurance allow you to drive any other vehicle with 3rd party cover? That's what I always use when borrowing other peoples cars....JahManRed wrote:

£1200/9 months.
First year

My land rover is classed as light goods/commercial and is a separate type policy to a standard car. You cant cross over between the two. I can drive any light goods as long as they are full comp up to 5 tonne lorry.Bertster7 wrote:

Ah, makes sense. Still, at £20 it's not exactly a big deal anyway....JahManRed wrote:

At the moment my car is insured under my dads name so its $350. But next year when its under my name it will be $2500 (I hate being a male under 21 lol)

My big problem is that I was a named driver on other people insurance for many years, which meant I didn't build up no-claims bonus. Now I have 3 years no claims under my belt and am pushing 30, so it's a lot less than it used to be.
i pay £210 a year fully comp, 37 years old on a £20000 car, 18 years no claims

your vehicle is used for pleasure, its insurance cost is reduced. used that one for years
also, have your parents insure you, than you pay the diff. much cheaper than getting it yourself until your 25... i believe

$4500/6 month
you've gotten some tickets or wrecks .......... don't lie
even with a license of just a year, thats an ass-load of money

also a side note - age doesn't matter on insurance quote
if you're 16 or 46 and just getting your license for the 1st time --- you are an in-experienced driver and will be quoted the same

Certainly not the case over here. Both are factors.

I'm going to be getting a car pretty soon, and the most I can expect to pay is approximately $2200 a year. If I get a Prelude or a Civic, I'll be paying about $1800 a year.
