  • Just tried out Admiral with a Nissan Micra, adding an experienced driver and put that I was 30 and it came to £1158, adding another driver dropped it from £1468

    Thanks it's looking a lot better!

    Still outrageous but I think that's relatively good.
  • That's higher than my first year cost me as a 20 year old female - mine was £1070 on a 1994 VW Golf, interestingly I changed my sex to Male on the quote form to see what difference it would make and it added £1000 to the cost! Having a years no claim dropped it down to £690 and I'm hoping that next year it will be about half that again.

    Same. I paid £750 last year, 18YO male, 1.3 Hyundai.

    Crumbs, mine was about £380 at age 23 on a 1.9 diesel Fiesta, and I was annoyed cos AA quoted me £600. But that was 15 years ago.

    It is all a bit of a lottery - Admiral are one of the most expensive for me. I'm with elephant at the moment, but used Dial Direct and Hastings when I was in my first few years. Hope you find something vaguely reasonable OP.

    Haha thanks guys! Yes Bradford is bad for insurance I know, I am lucky I am not in the BD3 postcode!!! Barkerend is the uninsured driver capital of Britian!

    Well I was getting silly quotes at around £2700 which is crazy

    You know with quotes like that, it's not really that surprising there are so many uninsured drivers out there.

    Elephant and admiral are the same company! When I do quotes both usually come up within about £5 of each other.
