18 years of age vs van insurance

[Jack Price]

I paid 1200 pounds on Insurence for my 1985 2.5 petrol defender when I was 17 2 years ago!

i think they are trying to price under 25's out of the commercial market. i think its bad having to pay near £3000 for a years insurance on a van worth 1-2 grand.

One option could be a very old Land Rover (a series type) on a low mileage cover.

Pick ups are more to insure as " people ride in the back of them " and then add 4x4 , then your age it's going to be a lot off money !

So sad to see so many young people posting their plight over their vehicle insurances etc, equally sad to see people posting "willing to work for free to gain experience" its like going back to the 30's. what strange times we live in.:thumbdown

It's a nightmare for kids. My lad's 18 and I can't add him as a named driver. Can only insure him as the main driver with his name on the logbook at an exhorbitant price. Ironically I can phone the insurance broker up (NFU) and put him on temporary cover for 60 days per time for £60. At a pound a day it's cheaper than mine!

 

Can you renew that every 60 days? because that would be nice a pound a day

try Adrian Flux, they specialise in 4x4 etc. I got insured really reasonably few years ago with my defender 90 with everything you could bolt on to it.
