My lad, who is 21, is buying a impreza (2.0 litre turbo 4wd w reg). Any advice on companies to use. Tried Ecar/ A-plan/ Adrian flux/ Gary moulson. Any others?

Cheers.

EUI group are good for young drivers - Elephant, Admiral, Bell.

make sure you try em all, they (randomly) give very different quotes at different times. expect to pay considerably more than £1000 though, unless he has 4 years NCD.

The annoying thing is, is that he has 3 yrs and 10 1/2 months ncd. He needs to move from existing company, but he'll lose the 10 1/2 months...in other words, hes only on 3 yrs ncd. Looking for some one that may give 4. Apparently some do. Can we foooking find someone. No. Lol

Just tried elephant............£7200

Why can't he stay with the company he is with for another month and a half then buy the impreza?

[kojak]

He saw the car and wanted it as it was a god buy. He might end up not driving it for a few weeks.

Added to say the best quote we've got is £1900, which is fine..its the loss of a year ncd thats a pain, so might end up doing the above yet. As i said...supposedly, some companies might make the ncd up to 4years to get his business, for the sake of a few weeks. Thats what we were told, but as yet. not heard of one...hence my question. A broker from swinton never returned a call. He was one who said 'I cant see that as a problem...i'll get back'.

Sky Insurance - also tell him to become a member of a specialist car club - mention PH maybe to the Sky boys

1900 is a good price considering age and car

Nope, Sky are an insurance broker.

Stick it out for the extra month and a half, it'll give him more time to save up the cash, and work out cheaper afterwards. Had my GT4 on the drive for 2 months til my insurance ticked over that extra NCB, it was well worth the wait! (And the extra few hundred quid in my pocket! )

He's decided to leave it locked in the garage for 6 weeks. We'll try Sky then. Cheers.
