Just Passed my test :-)

[yellownana]

I passed my test a few days. Yay!!!! :-)

I have tried to get quotes for car insurance and it's coming up at £1100, and that's 3rd party too.

I'm a 26 year old female and was told it would be cheaper cos of my age etc.. I know i only just passed, but still thought it'd be cheaper ;-$ I'm trying to get it on a Citroen Saxo 1.1 SX

My friend was 21 when she passed and she has said she has only ever paid £40 a month 3rd party (not on anyone else's insurance)

Any suggestions or is this the best i can do and is it what i'm going to pay? Any suggestions on who to go with that's cheaper appreciated :-)

Ta very much xx

Go compare...Go compare!

[sara3]

I pay more than £40 a month, and I have 25 years no claims!

[yellownana]

Think she's having me on then :-)

I have tried Go Compare and that's the cheapest.. If that's the cheapest, i will pay it, but didn't want to miss out on a good deal..

[thetruthhurts]

seriously, £40 per month at 21? No way Jose!

[joggerjayne]

That's because you have a lairy car, Sara !

he he x

[sara3]

have you tried whoever your friend said she's insured with?

congrats on passing your test, btw :o)

[sara3]

I do ;o)

[yellownana]

Thanks sara3, i still can't believe it and can't wait to get into car and get going..

Think i'll go with Tesco as they've said about £950.. Not too bad

[thetruthhurts]

I'm so glad I don't have a car.

you're paying a lot, sara3 - I pay Directline about £300 a year after 30 years no claims. (Peugeot 306, but less than 5000 miles a year.)

[ummmm]

My insurance is just over £300, fully comp for me and OH. I'm also insured to drive any car 3rd party.

[ummmm]

I have the same car as jno..

[sara3]

jno, I do quite a lot of mileage and my car comes under the sports category, even though I don't think it should :o/

I have shopped around and can't get it cheaper, although I've added in most of the extras, courtesy car, etc.

[jno]

oh well, I'm not in the same league as your Boxster, sara3

[sara3]

it's not a Porsche, lol!

and it's getting on (unlike myself, ahem!), almost 8 years old now.

[jno]

I guess yellownana's problem is being a newbie without a no claims record. Ordinarily, a 26-year-old driving a Saxo shouldn't be paying that much.

[gina32]

i am with directline fully comp and passed my test last year i pay £300 a year!

do you smoke also?
