Mini Insurance

[anonymous-user]

My sister is learning to drive at the moment and had her heart set on getting a Mini for when she passes her test. She would be looking at getting a 2001/2002 One most likely.

When we got some quotes in December Minis were pretty cheap to insure and were coming up at around the same price as golfs, around £950.

Now I'm finding that its almost impossible to find any one who will quote on a mini, most refused to quote or come back with £5k+ quotes!

Tesco are generally the cheapest for us and have given her quotes of around £1200 for a 1.5 swift, but refused to quote her on a mini.

Does any one know of a company which hasn't compleatly written Minis off as a car for young people?

Have you tryed using the comparison web sites. Got quite a good price (Lets just say over 21) with zero no clames. Its also probably with looking to see how is advertysing in the mini mags.

Yes I have tried comparison sites, the cheapest they come up with is £2500! Which seems crazy in comparison to what we were getting quoted before!
She is 17.

Good idea about the mini mags, I will have to check those out.

Insurance prices have generally gone mental this year.

I couldnt better my renewal price for first time in 7 years.

Last week I tried to get new insurance for my Mum who is 60+ with 9+ NCB on a Corsa worth less than £400 TPFT. Couldnt get less than £180 and her renewal from current provider was £165.
