Tesco are good, ure looking around ?1300.

Its ?1300 fully comp with curtesy car, valued @ ?1000 in my own name, with 0 NCB, 17yrs old. (thats a 988cc Mini)

why not do what normal peeps do when looking for prices and give some insurance companies a call? lol. or go 2 their websites for quick quotes.

After all i don't think Novaload offer insurance to their members yet. (would be good though)

Does the insurance increase much for a 1.4SRI compared to like 1.2 Merit. I know the insurance group difference is around 3/4 groups how much is that in money terms. A grand,couple of hundred, 50 quid. Can you give me any idea.
Thanks

Basic theory is that the insurance group listsing relates to a percentage probably looking at about a ?4-500 difference for you on the two you mentioned.

But i have had cheaper quotes for higher group cars as compared to my Nova's.

For example, my Vectra 2.5 V6 is group 15 and they want ?550 for cover and a Group 11 Nova GTE is nigh on ?700, they look at it that the Vectra is worth more so i would take more care when driving, whereas nova GTE is worth nothing so i wouldnt care about it.

Yeah i know what you mean Ben, certain 1.2 Renault Clios have been quoted higher than 1.4 Clios. Basically because of the insurance companies past experiences, (1.2 being a very popular first time car), leading to more claims.

Are you 17 Ben, if you are 17 are those prices under your own name, because they seem great prices.

im 17 with a 1.2luxe and the best i could get was about ?1500 with direct line.

[Ben]

Direct line wanted ?1200 for me and i got it for less than half, keep phoning round.
