How much are under 25's paying for insurance?

[Ow]

I know there are a few young TVR drivers, so I'd be interested to know how much you're paying, and who you are using.

I'm very interested in getting a Chimaera 400 soon as a second car, but I need to try and sort out some insurance first.

I'm 23 with 5 years NCD, and will be looking for a limited mileage policy.
I don't anticipate doing more than 3-4k a year in it.

I've had an initial quote of around £850 from MSM which is with a 3k mileage limit, but I've not managed to find anyone else to quote me a sensible price yet.

So how old are you, what do you drive and how much do you pay?

I think its going to be tricky till you're 25

[whitewolf]

At 24 i paid 380 but that's on my taimar... bit of a power difference....

[Alexdaredevilz]

I was paying £2800 for my chim at 24

At 25 it down to £540

[HughG]

At 20 I was paying ~£500 for the first kit car (Fisher Fury with a fireblade engine), at 24 it was about £280 for the current one, and now £185 at 25.

Edited to say just spotted this is in the TVR section, ooops!

Check mannings, classicline, competition car insurance out too.

I found these the best for me.

at 22/23 I only found msm to give me a decent quote (though have to say I didnt try some of the above ^^^) and back then it was 600 odd but the prices have obviously gone up or the difference in location. I ended up using a policy avaliable to me through the company which was bout the same price but insures anyone to drive it with my permission

My 4.2L Cerb was around £900 when i was 24 with 5 years no claims.

25 with 6 years no claims brought it down to sub £500, fully comp as well - That was with Admiral.

Not that they appeal to me in any way but out of interest I compared it at the time with the usual boy racery Imprezas / Skylines etc. Most were all 2k plus.

I think I limited my mileage to about 4k? Which isn't too much of a big deal.

[Djdan]

I wrote of my RX8 last year and hence a crash and no no claims, 24 with 5 points for speeding on a Tuscan S is £1287 from Admiral with 4000 miles a year

[robsco]

£1282 for a Cerbera 4.2 at 21 here. This is with MSM.

[crimbo]

was msm at 24-25 around £900-£1000 now with manning on agreed value for half that at 26, but you have to be 25 for them, they like experiance with the car too. msm were great

[Ow]

Thanks all.

MSM seem to be the stand out contender then!
My current best quote is around £850 which is from MSM, which isn't too bad. That's for a 3k mileage limit I think.

Bump

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

[alexcurtis]

no to be fair that is a good price i am now an old get (33) with 7 years of westie experience and now have a griff 500 garaged as a second car and pay £400, i was looking at similar prices until i hit the magic 30 then prices tumbled, from what i have seen and heared 30 is the new 25 for insurers especially if you are after any form of classic specialist insurance, kit car insurance is cheaper and or american... just my 2p

[AceOfHearts]

MSM for me Also a great company to deal with.

I paid £1100 TPFT at 19 and £850 at renewal

[Ow]

Thanks both.

Looks like MSM is (still) the answer.

It may be worth giving Henderson Taylor a try, I've always found them pretty competitive but for me Manning UK are the cheapest at 35.
