Hey guys
Just wondering if any of you guys are about 18/19 and got a dt as your first car and roughly how much your paying? Because I refuse to pay 5grand on a car worth less that 600quid
Thanks ash

Try adding your mum or dad on to the policy and limiting your miles...

If it's too expensive dude just tell them that you can't afford it right now and all will be OK until you save enough money...

They won't, you need 2 years licence i believe or they won't insure you.. i had the same problem!
Try a broker called A-Plan, they sorted out my insurance for me twice now

Top tips are (and not all of these apply to all insurance companies)
Move to a safer post code (go and live at your aunts or nans house)
Add someone over 30 but under 50 you your insurance as a named driver (especially if they have a clean licence or low risk job) If you want to try adding my details give me a PM but your mum is probably a better choice.
Garage your car overnight or keep it offroad
look on money saving expert at their list of jobs and risk and see if your job falls into a lower risk catergory by a slight change of title Student, journalist and unemployed are the worst. however if you start your own company and are the Managing Director i believe that can offer a relatively low risk.
Do your pass plus (and any other driver training you can get)
Get an excess thats worth the same as the car, if its your fault/your the only car involved then replacing a £600 car will be less than your premium will go up by anyway the next year.
and then we move onto the really heavy stuff
Get the insurance company to fit a black box that monitors when, where and how you drive and charges you accordingly. If your sensible for a year you could save ALOT of money.
Get a policy that only allows you to drive at certain times of day most accidents especially serious ones with inexperienced and young drivers happen in the small hours of the morning.

Tell em you leave it stuck on the road and that it doesnt have an immobiliser...saved myself nearly £50 on the 106 by doing that lol, the complete opposite of what you'd think!
The main thing though, is to add older named drivers, female ones with clean licences! I've still got my mum and aunt on there now and Ive been driving over 3 years.

Modify the f*ck out of it.. The more I declare, the cheaper it seems to get!
Also add people to the policy, older drivers are a good bet, but another good one seems to be add a female driver on a provisional license.
