It's good being old!!

[Alex_225]

Well, when I say old I mean nearly 30!! :lol:

I got my insurance renewed on my Megane 225 for.....................£430!!! Took a bit of fannying about on the phone but overall I really can't complain at that price.

That means I'm not getting both my Megane and Twingo 133 for under £800. Well chuffed.

For my RS250 including telling them about my remap and miltek costs me £240 for me the wife with protected no claims

 

[Alex_225]

It's good to hear people actually getting a good deal on their insurance as well. Some of the premiums I've known people to pay are insane.

A friend of mine is 21 and drives a 1.6 Bora, not exactly the most sporty car yet his insurance is £1,200!

I consider £430 a pretty good deal purely as I only have 5 years no claims (was a named driver until I was 24). Also £100 less than my renewal and about 300-400 quid less than most other places tried to offer me.

My wife has 3 years no claims and had her licence for 3 years she just got her 1.5dci grand scenic for £420 fully comp with me on it aswel. She is 29

Good going that. Im 28 with 5yrs NCD and the clio still cost me £650 last renewal eeek.

25, 4 years no claims and my 230 is about a grand :/

 

[Alex_225]

The only thing I can put it down to is that it's only insured for 1,500 miles a year so I think that makes a difference.

Certainly worth trying Adrian Flux for a quote as I think £430 is brilliant. It doesn't help that I have a Croydon post code even though I'm actually about 20 minutes South and 1/2 miles away from being in a different borough.

Ouch. I pay less than that for 6,000 - though my area is considered pretty low risk.

 

[Alex_225]

Is that for a the 133 though? I only pay about £320 for the Twingo.

Trouble I have is that I was a named driver until I was 24 so only have 5 years no claims. I'm not sure I'm in a high risk area but I know outside of a Croydon postcode would help.

 

[DrDrew]

Ahhhh. Missed the bit higher up and hadn't realised you switched to the Megane.

 

[Alex_225]

Haha no worries mate. I've had the Megane longer than I've had the Twingo though.

In fact the Megane is 6 years old tomorrow haha. Damn that sounds a long time ago! I'm rather grateful that both cars now cost me only about £750 for the pair now though.

 

[Daveyb133]

i pay 600 for 18,000 miles a year with admiral. im 27 with 3 years no claims and 6 points. its great living in a 'respectable' area and the car is garaged overnight

 

[Alex_225]

I garage certainly is a bonus having a garage and even parking off road. Luckily I get to keep the Megane garaged and the Twingo is off the road as well.

Admitedly where I live is actually a really nice area but I reckon if i didn't have a CR postcode my insurance would be a little bit cheaper. Then again I can't complain really lol.

 

[Twingojoe]

Im 28 4 years ncb 6 points hgv driver and live in essex and i pay close to 900 a year on a 133joke!
