twobob 1,497 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm 19 and the cost for a 1.3 hardtop jimny is £5130 cheapest, but hey insuring a corsa is nearly as expensive to insure now so might aswell just save up a couple of hundred pounds more and pay for a 4x4. It's all a bloody joke but you have to pay for it nowadays if your young! Joe Its not just young lads 480 to insure fiesta van fully comp last year,asked for a quote on a ford connect t200 nearly same size engine 1080 iam 46 never had a crash have a clean licence what the fxcks all that about then.

bud 5 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I have a Suzuki samurai 1.3, i am 26yrs old and insurance on this was a joke. I then phoned a company called Sureterm direct who gave me a specialist 4x4 limited 6000 miles per year policy for £280, the next cheapest quote was over £800. I'd recommend giving them a try as this is the second vehicle I've had insured with them and they are always well under half the price of the cheapest quote. An older defender may also work out cheaper than you think. Good luck in your search, Paul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Try Sure Term, over at Huntingdon, the wife got a quote from them, as a second car, third party for £202 (car value £750), when it came to paying for the insurance they upgraded her to fully comp at the same price, they are 4x4 insurance specialists! They do not touch ordinary cars, just 4x4s! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
