Its called 17to40. i got a quote on there, with the exact same details as ive entered on any other site, not lying about anything. It quoted me more than half of what other sites have. i just wanted to let other younger people on here know, because i know what its like not being able to afford insurance.

Interesting, I've just been through a quote on there and all it said for mods was a simple yes/no to "is the car modified". I suspect whatever quotes you're given are subject to further details...

LMFAO £640 for the Celica. Thats more than TWICE what I currently pay with Sky! Also includes an excess of £470, which is obscene!

lol lol lol lol

lol engine conversion counts as one?

engine conversion, intake and exhaust, even get a remap on there and something else (nos/turbo?) lol

you could just about squeeze engine conversion (without any mods) suspension, brakes, alloys and a gsi bumper or something... One of the insurance companies I phoned up though stopped me halfway through listing mine lol

This is true, but I'm certainly younger than 40!

Click on the "modified car insurance" on the site before you go through a quote or anything.

B*llocks!

Alloys were on the car when i bought it, i thought they were standard lol

so were the sideskirts, and the colour coded bumper lol

I got quoted £200 more than im paying now anyway

Unless it was a gsi I think they're not standard, some insurance companies get funny about optional extras too

its not cause there old, what insurance company in there own mind will be willing to offer insurance cheaper to 17 year olds than 25+, none.

something will prob be fishy with it like the braided hose glitch on gocomapre

Nothing to do with being old. Just ran a test quote on Admiral and then again on that site. 17, 0NCB, 1.0 Nova, 10k/year, TPFT, £200 vountary excess. Used my address (A grade postcode).

Admiral: £950, excess total £450 (i.e. £250 compulsory)
17to40: £1464. And the excess was £1,000 LMFAO

Just proves, whats an insurance win for some is a lose for others.

When it comes to insurance, you pay for the risk that you present to the insurer. Whilst some will be cheaper than others, I would be worried if one was significantly cheaper than all of the rest of the companies you are getting quoted by. Cheapest may not necessarily be best.
